Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated metroidvania from developer Team Cherry that still doesn't have an official release date, will finally be playable September 18…if you just so happen to be at Australia's National Museum of Screen Culture.
The news comes via IGN, who states the game will be playable at the Melbourne-based museum as part of an exhibition called Game Worlds. In addition to being playable in some form, the exhibition will also include displays that explore Hollow Knight: Silksong's art and design choices.
Team Cherry is based in Adelaide, Australia, so Hollow Knight: Silksong being part of the museum's exhibition isn't entirely out of left field. In a statement to IGN, two co-curators of the exhibit, Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell, said they are grateful to Team Cherry for trusting them with their work.
"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 South Australian-made game as a centerpiece of Game Worlds in September."
It's unclear how much of Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable as part of the exhibit, or if its museum appearance signals an official September (or earlier) release date. Changes to Hollow Knight: Silksong's metadata on Steam, and its brief delisting on the Nintendo eShop, earlier this year gave fans some hope for an official release date, but it seems Team Cherry is still keen on keeping fans in suspense.
Hollow Knight: Silksong did make a brief appearance during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct last month, where it was listed as a 2025 release for Nintendo's new console. Team Cherry later confirmed the game will release for both Switch consoles. First announced in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was originally planned for PC and Nintendo Switch, before later announced to be coming to Xbox (including Game Pass) as well as PlayStation 4 and 5.
