"Hollow Knight: Silksong Playable at Australian Museum in September 2025"

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved indie title, is set to make its debut in an Australian museum in September 2025. As one of the most-wished-for games on Steam, Silksong has captured the hearts of players worldwide since its initial announcement in 2019. Developed by Team Cherry, a studio based in Adelaide, South Australia, the game remains shrouded in mystery regarding its exact release date, though a 2025 window has been confirmed.

Visitors to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne will have the unique opportunity to experience Silksong firsthand as part of the Game Worlds exhibition. This showcase will not only allow players to dive into the game but will also delve into its intricate design and artistic direction through interactive displays.

Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell, co-curators at ACMI, expressed their excitement about featuring Silksong as a centerpiece of the exhibition. They highlighted the game’s impressive details, from Hornet’s dynamic animations to the strategic complexity of its boss battles. The curators also praised Team Cherry for entrusting them with showcasing their work.

ACMI shared a sprite sheet from Silksong, offering fans a glimpse into the game’s artistic elements. While the exhibition will run from September 18, many speculate that the game’s actual release may occur earlier in August. Hollow Knight: Silksong recently appeared in a brief teaser during Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct, marking the first significant update in years.

Initially announced for Nintendo Switch and PC, the game will also be available on Xbox (including Game Pass), PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Fans eagerly await further developments, especially following Team Cherry’s cryptic teasers, including a mysterious reference to a chocolate cake recipe earlier in 2025.

Stay tuned for more updates as the release date draws closer. For now, Hollow Knight enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing Silksong’s brilliance at ACMI’s Game Worlds exhibition.
