Picture this: after years of memes, theories, and even digital rituals, Silksong finally announced a release date 🎉… and the indie industry basically ran for the hills as if a secret boss had appeared out of nowhere. September 4th, 2025, will mark the official arrival of the long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight, and what should have been a celebration turned into an apocalypse for several small studios that had the brilliant idea of releasing in the same week. The result: they all got Silksonged. Games like Demonschool will now not arrive until November, Baby Steps was moved to September 23rd, and Aeterna Lucis was simply pushed to 2026, while titles like Faeland don't even dare to give a new date 📉. The logic is simple: who in their right mind competes against a release that has been accumulating hype, fan art, entomological poetry, and memes for six years? 🦗🔥 But with all the postponements, indie titles are now starting to step on each other's toes, which could turn September and October into a bottleneck of releases. In the end, Silksong not only swept gamers away, but also the calendars of half the industry. And all of this before it even came out.
