Demonschool gets delayed at the very last minute because of Silksong
, by Thibaut
Although not particularly well known, Demonschool is a very promising indie game. This tactical RPG was originally scheduled for release on September 3, 2025, on consoles and PC. Unfortunately, someone threw a wrench at Ysbryd Games' plans.
Demonschool is now expected to be released on November 19, 2025. In a message posted on Steam, the publisher clearly explained that it had delayed the game for visibility reasons. The team said it was caught off guard by the announcement of the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong on September 4.
"With 11 years under our belt as an indie publisher, we at Ysbryd Games are reasonably qualified to say that any point of 2025, on balance, has been or will be as brutal as market conditions can get when it comes to releasing a game. The joke got more cruel when we found out with such short notice that Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch just one day after our planned release for Demonschool.
We have to remind ourselves that gaining visibility for Demonschool is our main goal. Thus, the Ysbryd team strongly believes we would not be doing Demonschool any favors by wading into waters we can clearly see are blood red. If the September period is going to be Silksong's moment, then we need to be elsewhere on the calendar to give Demonschool its own moment to be seen and talked about meaningfully."
The devs want to use this extra time to polish their title and add more endings and mini-games that were originally planned for release after launch.
