Demonschool Delayed to Nov. 19 to Avoid Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Sept. 4 Launch

Ysbryd says the two-month shift lets planned extra content ship at launch.

Overview

  • Publisher Ysbryd Games moved Demonschool from September 3 to November 19, citing Silksong’s short-notice September 4 release as the deciding factor.
  • The delay will allow Necrosoft to bake in content originally planned post-launch, including additional endings and minigames, alongside further polish.
  • Ysbryd calls this the final delay and notes Steam review keys had already gone out to press before the schedule change.
  • Developer Necrosoft said the decision was publisher-driven, added that Ysbryd is covering delay costs, and expressed understanding of the rationale.
  • Demonschool’s shift joins a growing list of indie schedule changes tied to Silksong’s timing, highlighting the strain on smaller studios’ visibility and coverage plans.
