After years of waiting and mystery, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally getting a playable version. Today, Team Cherry announced that fans will finally get a chance to play the game, but only in Australia for now.

Starting September 18, the game will be available to play at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) as part of an exhibition called Game Worlds. The event will also include displays focused on the game’s design and artistic direction.

The ACMI curators, Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell, spoke about the excitement of having a playable version of Silksong at the exhibition:

April 2: There’s an update on Hollow Knight: Silksong, with the game confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, the game launches in 2025.

This is our first real news about the game in quite some time. There’s unfortunately still not much else to report, but fans will be happy to hear that it’s trucking along – and we have a new, concrete launch window.

Hollow Knight Silksong 2025 update

Hollow Knight: Silksong fans are still clamoring for the game’s launch, and while there’s still nothing in the way of a release date, we do have a brief update from developer Team Cherry.

Over on X, Team Cherry PR and marketing head Matthew ‘Leth’ Griffin was asked about the project’s status. He said in response: “Yes the game is real, progressing and will release.”

The next game to get the Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial treatment in Europe has been revealed by Nintendo to be Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight.

Those that are currently a part of the service can play the full game entirely at no extra cost. The trial period will be held between June 6 and June 12.

Like other similar offers of this nature, any progress you make can be used in the full version if you choose to purchase the game later on. Additionally, you can earn Platinum Points on My Nintendo simply for participating.

Hollow Knight originally released on Switch via the eShop on June 12 2018, meaning it will mark its sixth anniversary when the Game Trial period ends. Read more about it below.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Team Cherry is hard at work on Hollow Knight: Silksong, the follow-up to the developer’s acclaimed action-adventure game. Eventually, there’ll come a time when the studio’s focus shifts to a different project entirely. And in fact, it’s something that Team Cherry is already thinking about ever so slightly.

Co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen commented on what’s next in the latest issue of EDGE. When asked if the team will be taking a break after Silksong, Gibson stated:

Hollow Knight: Silksong

There’s no doubt that if you played the original Hollow Knight, you’ll be interested in Hollow Knight: Silksong. However, Team Cherry is hoping to grab new players as well.

The studio told EDGE this month that Silksong is intended to test players in a “comparable” way to the first game. At the same time, co-director Ari Gibson mentioned that the new title, with its own lore and characters, is intended to be “a perfect jumping on-point for new players.”

Gibson added:

As promised, this month’s issue of EDGE has a big feature on Hollow Knight: Silksong. The magazine covered new gameplay details, shared insight from developer Team Cherry, and more.

Here’s a roundup of the notable tidbits:

It’s been almost two years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced. Status updates have been tough to come by, especially since E3 2019. Fortunately, the wait for new information is almost over.

EDGE has revealed that it has scored Hollow Knight: Silksong for its next issue. Aside from featuring the game on the cover, an in-depth feature is planned, with the magazine teasing its article as a “world exclusive”.

Details should emerge online within the next few days – stay tuned.
