Hollow Knight Silksong fans were a bit disappointed to see the game delayed to the second half of 2023, and at least one other indie Metroidvania developer was also a little concerned by the news because it means increased competition for the tail end of the year.
Lead level designer Enrique Colinet of The Game Kitchen noted that Silksong is now much closer to the late summer release date of Blasphemous 2, the promising sequel to perhaps the grisliest Metroidvania around. Colinet joked in a tweet that "I think I'm legally allowed to publicly display how a panic attack looks like in games development."
