Hollow Knight: Silksong is the GTA6 of the indie games world. It's the megaton game that every other game wants to dodge. But sometimes publishers just can't change their release dates. We put together a list of some of the other games releasing today to check out if Silksong isn't your jam (or you just like being contrarian), as well as a few of the anticipated games that scooted out of the way of Hornet and her deadly needle.

Last month, the long-awaited Titan Quest 2 arrived in early access on PC, and according to THQ Nordic, it sold 300,000 copies in just its first three days. While reacting to that news, former THQ vice president of studio operations Richard Browne shared a few of the reasons why Titan Quest 2 wasn't released almost two decades ago.
On LinkedIn (via Game World Observer), Browne noted that THQ had given the greenlight for the sequel in 2006. However, the development team at Iron Lore...
You'll come across a variety of NPCs throughout Hollow Knight: Silksong, and some of them will make requests--known as Wishes--that you can complete to earn rewards. The one you're likely to complete first is given to you by the Druid of Mosshome, who you'll encounter in--you guessed it--the Mosshome region. This Wish is called Berry Picking, and it tasks you with finding three Mossberries and returning them to this NPC. Here's what you need to know.
How to complete the Berry Picking Wish...
Roblox has become a hub for crossovers and a growing metaverse of IP, and its next collaboration will see one of the most popular anime series of all time, My Hero Academia, land on its shores starting September 6. My Hero Academia: Ultimate is billed as a PvP-focused MMORPG that will allow players to go on quests to unlock new abilities, level up their characters to get stronger, and use their powerful "Quirks" to climb up the in-game leaderboards.
Set in the world of My Hero Academia, the...
One of the most-anticipated upcoming features for the soccer game Rematch, cross-play support, has been delayed. Developer Sloclap announced today that the update has been pushed to an unspecified point in the future after the team discovered an issue. The patch was set to be released this week, so the last-minute delay is frustrating some fans.
In a statement, Sloclap said its "final tests" found a "major matchmaking issue" related to cross-play, and that's why it's delaying the update...
As a game that's constantly evolving, Helldivers 2 is no stranger to hotfixes and patches. In fact, a new update has just gone live, and it is designed to quickly address several issues that have cropped up in the game since the start of the Into the Unjust event in the game. This new patch focuses primarily on game-breaking issues causing hard crashes, as well as buffs to the new gear introduced in the Dust Devils warbond.
For general fixes, players can expect several problems to be...
Players can finally get their hands on the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, and with its launch also comes the release of the game's soundtrack.
Composer Christopher Larkin shared the link to the soundtrack, which is available to purchase on Bandcamp for $11.99. The Silksong soundtrack is also for sale on Steam at the same price, but users can buy both the game (normally $20) and the soundtrack at a discounted $25.58.
The Silksong soundtrack contains 53 tracks, compared to the...
Amazon has revealed the PC games that'll be coming to Prime Gaming in September, and this month, you can grab one of the best strategy games ever made, a story-driven dungeon-crawler, and a cute puzzle-platformer.
This is a small month overall, but if there's one game that can easily consume dozens of hours, it's Into the Breach. Best described as Pacific Rim meets chess--and also one of the rare games to get a 10/10 score on GameSpot--the turn-based tactics adventure sees you command...
There might not be a new EA Sports college basketball game after all. A new report states that the company is notifying universities and conferences that it won't be moving forward with plans for the sports title, as apparently some schools have accepted offers for a 2K Sports College Hoops proposal.
Extra Points reports that EA Sports vice president of commercial partnerships and licensing Sean O'Brien has sent out a letter stating that the company "is disappointed that we all couldn't...

Ahead of its launch in October, Square Enix has revealed more details on Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake, focusing on how combat has been enhanced and new items that players can take advantage of. Just like the original JRPGs, players will once again encounter monsters as they explore an overworld and several dungeons, with combat revolving around turn-based battles.
All the staples of the classic Dragon Quest gameplay are here--like spells and skills--but if you're having a tough time, the...

The game blasted off today with 5,000 concurrent players in the first five minutes, growing to 50,000 within 30 minutes and 100,000 after the first 45 minutes of availability.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here. After what feels like an eternity, Team Cherry's follow-up to the hugely successful 2017 original has been released, and with it comes a Twitch Drops campaign for a global badge.
Unlike emotes, Twitch badges can be customized to appear next to your username when talking in streamers' Twitch chats. The last Twitch badge to be made available in direct conjunction with a game's release was Elden Ring Nightreign's Wylder, which was unlocked by clipping...
Hitman developer IO Interactive is a master at level design, and for 007: First Light, the studio says the game will feature some of its "largest" levels to date. This week's dedicated State of Play showed off some of that interactive level design, as viewers watched IO's Bond work his way through a Slovakian hotel that was reminiscent of Hitman's 2016 Parisian fashion show level with its multiple opportunities for espionage and infiltration.
"When you arrive, we dive into much more...
The Coalition recently released a new gnasher-based update for Gears of War: Reloaded. Though the iconic weapon had already received a bit of tuning (thanks to feedback from the beta), the Gears community still felt that there was room for improvement. This is especially true when it came to how much damage the gnasher inflicted on unsuspecting players--dying by this shotgun-like weapon outside of its immediate range of fire always felt a little unfair.
One of the gnasher's main issues has...
The latest No Man's Sky update, entitled Voyagers, added one of the best-liked features in the nine years since the game's release as well as its highest player count since launch: custom Corvette ships. No Man's Sky has been all about extreme customization since first adding base building, and the Voyagers update is no different. Players are already building absolutely off-the-wall corvettes, and each one is better than the last.
For starters, there's a billboard-sized pixelated portrait...
Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI stands alone as a "AAAAA" game, according to Devolver Digital co-founder Nigel Lowrie. He said in an interview that nothing can touch the GTA series when it comes to the "scope and scale" of the popular open-world crime series.
"I mean, there are AAA games and then there's AAAA games and I'd argue that Grand Theft Auto is potentially the AAAAA game; it's just bigger than anything else both in the scope and scale of the game and the kind of cultural impact that...
Call of Duty is adding a new weapon camo today, September 4, alongside the Season 5 Reloaded update--and this camo is unique. The new Guild Override Camo dynamically changes when firing, and it's available for Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
You can see this in action in the video below. Call of Duty is no stranger to impressive-looking guns and camos, and this is just the latest example.

Ubisoft is releasing another Discovery Tour--its series of mostly educational tours of historical locations featured in Assassin's Creed games--but this time it's a free mobile app. Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad is based on Assassin's Creed Mirage's depiction of 9th-century Baghdad, and is available for free on iOS and Android.
Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad can be explored in two different modes, one more educational and the other more gamified. The Access Codex mode provides...
CloverPit, the self-described rogue-lite slot machine nightmare, was initially scheduled to release on September 3--but that was before Silksong's September 4 release date was announced. Although CloverPit was one of multiple titles to have its release date moved further away from Silksong's, Panik Arcade has released an updated demo to mark the original release date.
Developer Panik Arcade describes CloverPit as "the demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette," giving the Balatro...
