museum exhibition in Australia ahead of all others announces Silksong's release date, a claim I regret to confirm is genuine.
Spicy Update: Move over, gamers, because Hollow Knight: Silksong just got an official release date—and it might have you lining up for a museum exhibit! Set to be playable from September 18, 2025 at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne, Australia, this highly-anticipated indie game is guaranteed to bring the heat[1][2][4].
Yes, you heard it right—you can finally get your hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong during the exhibit! No need to wait any longer for this South Australian-made gem. But hold on a sec—the official public release for this devilish game still remains a mystery[2][5]. Is the museum exhibit a sneak peek or the full game experience? Your guess is as good as ours.
Here's what the folks at the ACMI have to say about it: "Since Hollow Knight: Silksong's initial announcement in 2019, it has been one of the most anticipated indie games on the planet, and we are thrilled to celebrate the design of this game as a centerpiece of Game Worlds in September"[3].
Hold on, though! Keep your expectations in check. This ain't your typical exhibit with just a few trailers and concept art. We're talking about deep dives into the artistic direction and design, pulling back the curtain on the game's hundreds of sprites, intricate boss fights, and more. These curators clearly know their stuff[3].
But will they survive the inevitable swarm of deranged Skongers if the actual public release does come before the exhibit? Only time will tell, fellow gamers.
What's got the Hollows community buzzing? They're in a bit of a tizzy, but don’t quite know what to make of this Silkpost. This hanging tag indicates an insider post, signalling bait or potential misinformation (you wouldn't want impostors getting in on the action, now would you?)[6].
Fret not, because a new sprite sheet has just been revealed, thanks to IGN[6]. It seems our community of hollows won't go hungry amidst this swirling dizzying mystery. So let the excitement brew, fellow gamers, as we eagerly await the official release date for this tantalizing Silksong!
Stay tuned for the latest gaming news, reviews, and hardware deals from your fellow gamers at PC Gamer!
Note: The exhibit is scheduled for September 18, 2025, however the official public release date remains obscured in arcane game marketing circles. While the museum display is anticipated to offer a playable version of Hollow Knight: Silksong, it's uncertain whether it represents a demo or a full game release.
