Hollow Knight: Silksong will debut a playable demo at Australia's National Museum of Screen Culture (ACMI) as part of their Game Worlds exhibition. Fans eager to experience Team Cherry's anticipated sequel finally get their chance this September.

Game Worlds Exhibition Details

The highly anticipated Hollow Knight sequel will be showcased alongside iconic titles like World of Warcraft and The Sims at ACMI's Game Worlds exhibition running from September 18, 2025 to February 8, 2026. This marks the first major public appearance of Silksong since its 2019 announcement.

The exhibition will feature:

Behind the Scenes of Silksong's Development

ACMI co-curators Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell shared exclusive insights about the Silksong exhibit:

"Our displays will showcase hundreds of sprites animating Hornet's movements, reveal the design logic behind challenging boss fights, and of course, feature playable builds for visitors."

What This Means for Silksong's Release

While the exhibition confirms Silksong's 2025 release window (as shown during the Switch 2 Direct), an exact launch date remains unannounced. The inclusion of a playable build suggests the game is nearing completion, potentially hinting at a release during the exhibition period.
