"Hollow Knight: Silksong is the GTA6 of the indie games world. It's the megaton game that every other game wants to dodge. But sometimes publishers just can't change their release dates. We put together a list of some of the other games releasing today to check out if Silksong isn't your jam (or you just like being contrarian), as well as a few of the anticipated games that scooted out of the way of Hornet and her deadly needle."
"Adventure of Samsara - Notably, Adventure of Samsara is a search-action (colloquially known as a Metroidvania) game, just like Hollow Knight, and you're also a little guy with a sword. This game features some great-looking pixel art. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle "The Order of the Giants" DLC - This expansion delves deeper into the "Order of Giants" hinted at in the base game."
"Other games releasing today include the Switch 2 port of Star Wars: Outlaws, Everybody's Golf Hot Shots, and the Apple Arcade exclusive NFL Retro Bowl '26. Meanwhile, a bunch of other games made a run for it once Silksong claimed that September 4 date. The sci-fi roguelite FPS Moros Protocol jumped to September 18, as did the PlayStation 1-aesthetic roguelike survival game Megabonk."
Hollow Knight: Silksong is positioned as a megaton indie release on September 4, 2025, drawing major attention and influencing other release schedules. Several games still land on September 4, including Adventure of Samsara (a Metroidvania with pixel art), the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 'The Order of the Giants' DLC, Hell is Us (third-person, souls-like), NBA 2K26, and Jetrunner. Additional September 4 releases include the Switch 2 port of Star Wars: Outlaws, Everybody's Golf Hot Shots, and NFL Retro Bowl '26. Some anticipated titles moved to avoid the date: Moros Protocol and Megabonk shifted to September 18, while Baby Steps and Demonschool targeted September 23.
