🎮 Game Worlds Exhibition Now Open at ACMI – A Playable Journey Through Gaming History

Melbourne’s ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) has officially launched its latest blockbuster exhibition, Game Worlds — a must-visit for gamers, retro enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the evolution of interactive entertainment.

Spanning over 50 years of video game history, Game Worlds invites visitors to explore more than 30 iconic titles through 44 playable moments, original builds, rare design materials, and hands-on prototypes. This is not just a showcase — it’s a fully immersive experience.

🕹️ What You’ll Play and See

From pixelated farms to sprawling online realms, Game Worlds features a curated selection of genre-defining games, including:

  • Minecraft
  • Final Fantasy XIV Online
  • The Elder Scrolls Online
  • SimCity
  • Stardew Valley
  • World of Warcraft
  • The Sims
  • Neopets

And for fans of Aussie game development, the exhibition includes a spotlight on the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong, giving visitors a rare glimpse into the next chapter of Team Cherry’s beloved franchise.

No exhibition is complete without merch — and Game Worlds delivers. ACMI is offering limited-edition collectibles from Neopets, Stardew Valley, and Hollow Knight: Silksong, alongside ACMI-produced books that dive deep into the stories behind your favourite games.

Whether you’re a retro gamer, MMO veteran, or indie game aficionado, Game Worlds is a celebration of the creativity, community, and culture that define gaming.
