This event is set to run from September 18, 2025, to February 8, 2026, offering fans a unique chance to experience the game firsthand.

The Game Worlds exhibit will not only allow visitors to play Silksong but will also showcase exclusive custom builds of other renowned games like World of Warcraft and The Sims.

They emphasized the exhibit's deep dive into the game's artistic direction and design, from the intricate animations of Hornet to the complex logic behind its boss fights.

While the playable version at ACMI might signal a nearing release, no concrete release date for Silksong has been announced.
