## Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date and Indie Game Delays
Yesterday, Team Cherry announced a September 4th release date for *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, the highly anticipated sequel to *Hollow Knight*. this release is expected to be very popular, as it is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam [[1]].
However, this launch date has prompted other indie developers to delay their own game releases to avoid competing with *Silksong*.
Panik Arcade has pushed the release of their “hellish gambling roguelike” *CloverPit* from September 3rd to September 26th, hoping to give their game the best possible chance for visibility [[2]].Talegames is also postponing the full release of their adventure RPG *Faeland*, with a new date to be announced soon. Aeternum Game Studios is delaying their 2D sidescrolling game *Aeternum* to 2026, citing a desire for the game to receive the attention it deserves [[3]].
