Today in video games – 27th August: the new Skate rolls in and Silksong’s arrival continues to disrupt the release calendar

It’s 27th August and as we march inexorably towards the start of September, we’re back with another daily report. Another chance for us to collate all of today’s news and events while chatting cheerily along with you.

The march towards September takes us tantalisingly close to the fabled release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and the ripples of its sudden release date announcement continue to be felt across the industry. The latest game to scarper is Bennett Foddy’s Baby Steps, which has been pushed back to a later September release (23rd).

One game which won’t be kick-flipping out of the way, though, is “skate” – the long-awaited new game in the, um, Skate series of games. (I dislike game names that have no capital letter; they unsettle me.) The early access launch of that new game, that new generation of Skate experience, begins 16th September. It’s totally bodacious dude.

To the day’s events, then!
