You probably may have caught the news that Hollow Knight: Silksong was released today, but did you know that AIE Alumni helped bring this long‑awaited sequel to life?
After years of anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally arrived — and its launch has already made waves across the global games industry. The long‑awaited sequel to the beloved indie classic has smashed records on day one, drawing millions of players, dominating streaming platforms, and becoming one of the most celebrated indie releases in recent memory.
This milestone is a triumph for Adelaide Developer’s Team Cherry and it’s a proud moment for the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE). Two AIE alumni played key roles in bringing Silksong to life: Jack Vine, serving as Technical Director, and Huy Le, contributing Additional Programming. Their work helped shape the technical brilliance, fluid combat, and polished gameplay that fans are already praising.
The release marks a major achievement for the Australian games industry, showcasing the world‑class talent emerging from local studios and training institutions. For AIE, it’s another shining example of graduates making a real impact on the global stage — building, coding, and creating the games players can’t wait to experience.
