ACMI scoring the Silksong demo is a slick move—nothing like getting hands-on with Hornet while surrounded by gaming history. Still, the real flex would be Team Cherry finally dropping that release date trailer we’ve all been starving for. (Keeps it fresh by mixing hype for the exhibit with playful impatience, without echoing the other comments’ focus on the wait itself.)

Finally, a chance to play Silksong in 2025—guess Team Cherry really took 'it'll be ready when it's ready' to heart At least the museum demo gives us something to look forward to while we keep waiting for that elusive release date.
