Hollow Knight: Silksong releases on September 4, prompting multiple developers to adjust launch plans to avoid direct competition. Several games initially scheduled for early September have been pushed back, including a grimy slot-machine roguelike moved from September 3 to September 26. Panik Arcade cited risk and a desire to let players enjoy Silksong while polishing its title. Talegames postponed Faeland's 1.0 release, and Aeternum Game Studios delayed Aeterna Lucis into 2026. Silksong has been the most wishlisted game on Steam, featured in Microsoft's Xbox Ally reveal, and follows a franchise that sold over 15 million copies.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date, and it's very, very soon. September 4, in fact. Sure, Silksong may primarily be for a different audience than the latest edition of a massive basketball franchise, but it's going to take up much of the oxygen in the gaming space for a while. As such, some developers are delaying their games to give Silksong a wide berth.
The grimy, slot machine-based roguelike is now going to arrive on September 26. "We like a gamble, but this one is too risky lol," developer Panik Arcade said. "We want to give ourselves and our fans some time to enjoy Silksong, so we're launching a few weeks later and will use the time to polish CloverPit even further." Meanwhile, Talegames is pushing back the 1.0 release of its adventure RPG Faeland and Aeternum Game Studios is delaying a Metroidvania called Aeterna Lucis from September into 2026.
