Hollow Knight: Silksong release date prompts another game delay as Baby Steps inches back


Devolver Digital has committed to releasing a game on the same day as GTA VI, but it won't go toe-to-toe with Silksong.

They made the announcement with the help of a funny clip that sees Baby Steps protagonist Nate trying to scale a replica of Silksong's Hornet only to inevitably tumble into the dirt. Baby Steps is a sort-of spiritual successor to Foddy's classic, rage-inducing QWOP, in that you take granular control over Nate's legs to help him climb a mountain. These delays are reminiscent of reports that publishers and developers were putting off any fall release date announcements for their games for fear of getting crushed by Grand Theft Auto VI, which was supposed to be dropping by the end of the year.
