It has been over six years sinceHollow Knight: Silksong’s initial announcement, and fans have waited patiently for its release. With it being confirmed as a part of the list ofgames for the Nintendo Switch 2, they may not have to wait much longer, as it may be a sign that the game is nearing release. What’s more, Team Cherry’s decision to provide a playable version as part of a video game museum exhibition is cause for optimism. The likely reason for this move is to draw more attention to the eventual release and emphasizeSilksong’s quality. Based on what’s known about the exhibit, it seems the developer is showing confidence in a specific aspect of the game.
Team Cherry has confirmed thatHollow Knight: Silksongwill be part of Game Worlds, a video game exhibition that will be taking place at ACMI in Melbourne, Australia on June 28, 2025.Silksong’s exhibit is bound to showcase everything that people should look forward to, like a few boss battles that everyone will eventually be able to take on in the final release. The fact that the developer is willing to highlight and spoil some of the major fights could show how much faith it has in that aspect, which could be a sign of good things to come.
Silksong’s Playable Exhibit Points to Team Cherry’s Confidence in its Boss Battles
If there’s anything thatfans ofSilksonghave learned about Team Cherry, it’s that the developer will put in the effort when it comes to producing something of high quality. Still, a museum exhibit is a very different kind of publicity, so Team Cherry’s willingness to commit to this suggests a lot of confidence, especially in its boss battles. It could mean that Team Cherry thinks its fights are so well-crafted and designed that it simply can’t wait to share them with fans.
It might also be a way for Team Cherry to confirm somebosses intended forSilksongand prove that they can meet the standards they set during their previews, giving fans more reasons to look forward to playing. Team Cherry has likely put a lot of effort into each boss fight and is sure they will be a hit, which is why it’s allowing people to take them on during the exhibit. Should these bosses end up being what fans have been waiting for and expecting for years, a museum exhibit might be the perfect way to promoteSilksong.
What Fans of Silksong Gain From Taking On Some of the Bosses During the Exhibit
Should the playable version of the game during the exhibit act as a way to get everybody ready for the full release, then being able to take on the bosses early is a good thing for those who plan on playing. If there’sone thing fans ofSilksongshould keep an eye on, it’s how Hornet’s abilities change the feel ofHollow Knightboss battles. She will have a lot of different attacks and movement options from The Knight, so coupling that with the difficulty of the bosses Team Cherry is known for producing could make for an all-new kind of challenge. Giving people an early taste of both will help them understand just how differentSilksongwill be from the previous game, allowing them to prepare for what needs to be done to overcome and have fun with it.
Of all thethings confirmed forHollow Knight: Silksong, bosses are among the most important, so they’re well worth spoiling (at least a little) through the playable version during Game Worlds. Hopefully, Team Cherry’s confidence in showcasing the game’s major fights shows itself in the end result.
