As far as Australia’s impact on gaming culture goes, Adelaide-based studio Team Cherry bears mentioning. The indie outfit behind Hollow Knight and its hotly anticipated follow-up Hollow Knight: Silksong, led by co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen, with coder Jack Vine completing the trio, has become one of the country’s biggest gaming success stories, and they’re only just getting started.
This February, ACMI (Australia's national museum of screen culture) is bringing the beloved game series to life with a cinematic twist: live speedrun gameplay projected on the big screen, backed by a newly arranged score performed by musicians from Orchestra Victoria.
With a third night just added due to demand, audiences will journey through the worlds of Hallownest and Pharloom as one of Australia’s top speedrunners, Vichisuki, plays live in a high-energy spectacle that offers fans an entirely new way to experience the Hollow Knight universe. Whether you’re a casual or longtime gamer, chances are you’ve picked up a controller at some point and have been absorbed by a great game. Now, you can take in the artistry behind one of Australia’s most celebrated games, in the span of just one evening.
The event is part of ACMI’s blockbuster Game Worlds, the playable exhibition that transports you into the world of more than 30 legendary titles, including Final Fantasy XIV Online, Minecraft, The Sims and Stardew Valley.
Hollow Knight and Silksong Live is on from February 19-21 at 7pm. Tickets are $49 for adults. Grab yours here.
