- Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable on Sept. 18, 2025, at an Australian museum.
- The museum is Australia’s national museum of screen culture, also known as the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI).
- The showcase is occurring during Game Worlds, a “major new playable exhibition.”
Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally be playable on Sept. 18 at a national museum located in Melbourne, Australia. The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is holding a game exhibition called Game Worlds, during which Silksong will be playable.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the design of this South Australian-made game as a centrepiece of Game Worlds in September,” ACMI co-curators Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell said, according to IGN.
“From the hundreds of sprites that animate Hornet’s different movements and attacks, to the logic behind the game’s most challenging boss fights – and of course, having the game playable in-gallery – our Silksong displays delve deeply into the details of the game’s artistic direction and design.”
The extent of the playable gameplay showcase has not been announced; it’s unknown if it is simply a gameplay demo or if the full game will be made available at ACMI. No news regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release date or updates regarding the game’s development was revealed.
Originally planned as downloadable content for the popular platformer Hollow Knight, the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong has grown into a standalone sequel. Developed by Team Cherry, the highly anticipated project was announced six years ago and has since expanded in scope. Silksong is slated for release on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
