Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Be Playable in September 2025… at an Australian Museum - IGN

IGN can reveal the hotly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable in an Australian museum in September 2025. But what does that mean for the actual release date?

www.ign.com

Silksong will be playable at the Melbourne museum as part of a video game exhibition called Game Worlds, which will also include displays that delve into the game's design and artistic direction.

As part of the announcement, ACMI shared a sprite sheet from Silksong, below, one of several design elements from the game that will be on display in the Game Worlds exhibition.

This means it aint coming this year or probably ever.

I can't wait for this game to come out...

So that it's rabid fans can finally shut up about it

I honestly don't think this has anything to do with the release of the game, other than reconfirming it will be a 2025 launch, presumably before September. IGN making what was very likely not intended to be a major piece of news from Team Cherry or the organizers, and just using a giant megaphone for clicks. Knowing it would blow up the news today. As is usual the last several years, IGN can frequently be cringe. Because they just don't have much to report on anymore. Every publisher releases their own news themselves now. It's an enthusiast hobby site now, not a news site. They should just call a spade a spade. There are no journalists working there anymore. And using the term games journalism outside of a tiny handful of people across the games media is an absolute joke.

I still imagine a Nintendo June Direct shadow drop. Just like E3 2018.

Well, you know what museums are for. To spend time experiencing things you never will get to experience in the real world.

"And now to the right, we face exhibit A13 'Silksong', an ancient videogame which never saw the light of day; Prehistoric humans were waiting in vain"

On that sprite sheet about halfway down on the right you can see her riding on two rings and there is a 3rd ring in the picture just above it on the right.

Hey. Hey… come on man… we just out here scrounging for scraps like homeless crack addicts. It's not our fault!

I lost all my hype and anticipation of this game. I will for sure play it but probably not on day 1

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Hype is waning a bit for this game a bit. It's just taking too long.

 

[lughnasadh123]

All this time for a museum demo.

 

[Arsic]

This will be the most funny release in 2028.

All these years and it'll probably have been out done by other metroidvanias that came out in the time to develop it.

Fans are going to be pissed lol.

Museum is quite apt considering how long we've been waiting for this.

 

[Hookshot]

Really wish I knew what people saw in this to love it so much. I completed it and will buy the second but I'd never shower it with praise
