Kejora, an Indonesian narrative-driven platformer, joins the ranks of indie games being delayed to avoid the massive Hollow Knight: Silksong release this month.
The platformer was originally set to launch day and date with Silksong, though it’s been delayed into early next year – on January 8th. The game will be on Windows PC (via Steam) and newly confirmed console ports on Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation.
Here is a statement from Soft Source Publishing and developer Berangin Creative, plus a trailer:
Ever since signing Kejora back in May 2024, Soft Source has worked alongside the incredibly talented team at Berangin Creative to bring their project to life. We have been lucky to partner with them on such a heartfelt project as Kejora, which has captured the hearts of many, especially in Southeast Asia.
We want the best for Kejora, and ensure it gets the love, and support it so warrants. Kejora was initially set to launch on Steam on September 4th, 2025, after being in development since 2021. Regrettably for us, as well as many other developers and publishers, we’ve learnt that the highly anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong is also set for release on September 4th, 2025. We hold only respect for Team Cherry, and for anyone working on the beloved series; Hollow Knight has, and always will be, a standout game, and it is one of the most anticipated titles in the gaming industry – for a good reason.
Taking everything into account, we have made the decision to postpone the game’s release. This was a tough choice made by both the Soft Source and Berangin Creative team, but we have agreed that by releasing it on the same day as Silksong, Kejora will not get the attention it deserves.
In spite of this, we do bring good news; in light of the delay, we’re looking forward to releasing Kejora on January 8th, 2026, on Steam, and together on the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms as well.
As we work to move forward with the new release date, we thank everyone who has supported, played, and wishlisted Kejora so far. From a run-and-gun side-scroller in 2021, to the stunning narrative puzzle adventure it is today, Kejora will always remain in our hearts as a distinct representation of our Southeast Asian roots, and the incredible talent in the region.
