The unexpected reveal that the game “Hollow Knight: Silksong” will launch on September 4 has led several other previously scheduled game releases to shift out of a crowded market, as the humorous yet challenging game “Baby Steps”, often referred to as a literal walking simulator, has opted to avoid direct competition with “Silksong”. Initially planned for release on September 8, “Baby Steps” will now be taking a slightly delayed walk and will be available on PC and PlayStation 5 on September 23 instead.
Initially revealed back in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong had left fans questioning its release due to scant updates and assumed development delays. The confirmation by developer Team Cherry on the game’s release date of September 4, 2025 sparked immense excitement among players. However, this unexpected announcement also led to other games being delayed, with Baby Steps being one of them that felt the impact.
Baby Steps Release Date and Gameplay Details
- September 23, 2025
The freshly released trailer for the game Baby Steps has made it clear that it will steer clear of any direct confrontations with Hollow Knight: Silksong, as the former has decided to postpone its launch until September 23. Created by Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Fody, Baby Steps invites players into the life of “jobless slacker” Nate, helping him navigate physics-based gameplay in a quest to discover purpose in an unfulfilling existence. The game, known for its deliberately challenging mechanics akin to titles such as Getting Over It and Octodad, presents a deceptively simple premise with a peculiar protagonist that many have eagerly anticipated. However, due to the approaching release of Hollow Knight: Silksong in early September, Nate from Baby Steps is understandably taking some extra time before embarking on his adventure.
Silksong carving its own fiery path, Baby Steps has decided to shift its release date. Similarly, Faeland v1.0 and CloverPit have been pushed back to unspecified dates. Initially, gamers anticipated developers to focus on the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025. However, with GTA 6 being delayed until 2026, it’s Silksong that’s now taking center stage, causing other games to reshuffle their release plans.

Making the choice to delay the launch of a game can be challenging for a studio, as it depends on various internal and external factors. The upcoming game Hollow Knight: Silksong exemplifies one such unforeseen factor that can affect a title’s debut. Studios typically pay attention to other games set for release in the same timeframe, as demonstrated by the delay of Baby Steps. However, the new release date on September 23 is intended to offer some additional leeway for Nate’s exciting journey that lies ahead.
