In the case of Aeterna Lucis, for instance, the Silksong release is cited as the primary reason for the pushback, but Aeternum Game Studios also acknowledged that &#8220;we still don&#8217;t have all the necessary development kits to ensure a simultaneous release on all next-generation platforms,&#8221; which seems like a pretty big problem in its own right. The fact that it&#8217;s being moved into 2026, rather than just deeper into September or October, is also kind of telling.<\/p>\n<p>Stomp and the Sword of Miracles also picked up at least <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:3esbaeiudvhrxdngcah7t7jn\/post\/3lwyta5trss26\" target=\"_blank\">one new follower<\/a> thanks to its Silksong-fuelled delay, too. So it&#8217;s definitely not all bad.<\/p>\n<p><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gamediscover.co\/\" target=\"_blank\">GameDiscoverCo<\/a> founder Simon Carless told Aftermath that most developers are being &#8220;too cautious&#8221; about making room for Silksong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unless you feel like your buyers majorly overlap with Silksong&#8217;s, or you believe you are going to go viral with the same streamers who will cover Silksong, we&#8217;ve not seen a lot of evidence that game launches depress spending on other games,&#8221; Carless said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen private research indicating that player counts for already-launched rival games were only affected if the game was in the same, very specific subgenre as that big launch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I would imagine that most developers quietly hope that Carless is correct, because it&#8217;s growing increasingly difficult to find room to move. I think back to 2023, when <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/stray-gods-has-changed-its-release-date-to-avoid-baldurs-gate-3-which-changed-its-release-date-to-avoid-starfield\/\">Stray Gods moved its release date<\/a> to avoid Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, which had moved its own launch up by a month to get out of Starfield&#8217;s way. And then I think about how Stray Gods was an award-winning critical hit, and Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 became one of the biggest games ever, and Starfield&#8230; well, it was fine. So maybe Carless is onto something here.<\/p>\n<p>Right or wrong, one thing is beyond any doubt: Silksong is going to be a very big launch indeed. I don&#8217;t think anyone can blame other studios for not wanting to roll the dice on it.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/even-more-games-are-moving-out-of-silksongs-way-i-feel-like-a-little-krill-trying-not-to-get-eaten-by-a-blue-whale\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was your age, videogames were released at a rate of about seven per year, so there was plenty of room for everyone and we were all thankful for what we got.
