Even more games are moving out of Silksongs way I feel like a little krill trying not to get eaten by a blue whale
The article highlights a growing trend of indie games delaying their launches to avoid clashing with Hollow Knight: Silksong. With nearly 19,000 games released on Steam in 2024, the competition is fierce, and some developers feel like krill in a sea of blue whales. The delays from titles like CloverPit and Aeterna Lucis reflect a strategic retreat from potential overshadowing. While some see this as a wise move, others argue it may be too cautious. The looming question remains: is Silksong's gravity truly that powerful, or can smaller titles find their space to thrive? In any case, Silksong's release is shaping up to be a monumental event in the gaming landscape.
