The Silksong Deluge

In an unexpected twist, the team behind Dorfromantik has decided to delay the launch of their new game Star Birds. This postponement comes in response to the hype surrounding Silksong, which is set to be released on September 4. The developers expressed their concern about colliding with the excitement generated by Team Cherry’s latest title, emphasizing that both games deserve their own spotlight.

“Both games deserve their moment to shine, and we wish Team Cherry amazing success!”

Adjusting their schedule from September 4 to September 10, the developers hope to launch Star Birds into Early Access smoothly. They stated:

“After months of building, tweaking, polishing, and planning, we’re thrilled to say that Star Birds will launch into Early Access very soon. To make sure the journey starts smoothly, we’re adjusting our flight plan just a little.”
