US Edition‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ Release Date Is Delaying Other Games
Demonschool's release was postponed to November 19, 2025, to avoid competing with Hollow Knight: Silksong's early September launch and to improve game content and polish.
- Ysbryd Games postponed the tactical RPG Demonschool from September 3 to November 19, 2025, to avoid launching alongside Hollow Knight: Silksong.
- This delay followed Team Cherry's announcement of Silksong's September 4 release, which threatens Demonschool's visibility due to Silksong's high anticipation.
- Demonschool, developed by Necrosoft Games, is a school-life tactics RPG inspired by Persona and Italian horror, and will release on multiple platforms including Switch and PC.
- Ysbryd Games founder Brian Kwek said, "We don’t take this decision lightly," affirming this final delay aims to give Demonschool its own meaningful moment.
- The postponement reflects broader indie developer responses to Silksong's release, with other studios also delaying to avoid direct competition and maximize exposure.
