The Hollow Knight community is abuzz with speculation that Hollow Knight: Silksong's Switch 2 release will be announced during the April 2nd Nintendo Direct. Let's delve into the reasons behind this latest wave of anticipation.
The fervor began with a cryptic tweet from William Pellen, one of the game's creators, on January 15th, 2025: "Something big is coming. Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow." This, coupled with the leaked January 16th Switch 2 reveal, immediately ignited speculation about Silksong. Pellen's subsequent actions only fueled the flames.
On the day of the Switch 2 announcement (January 16th, 2025), revealing an upcoming Direct on April 2nd, Pellen changed his profile picture to a slice of cake. A reverse image search revealed the image originated from a Bon Appetit article featuring a Brooklyn Blackout Cake recipe – published on April 2nd, 2024.
Pellen also commented on the article with "mmmm tasty," prompting further fan analysis. The cake's April 2nd publication date, combined with the upcoming Direct, led to fervent speculation linking the cake to a Silksong announcement. One fan even vowed to bake the cake if Silksong news arrived by April 2nd, 2025. Another commented on the cake's "silky texture," drawing a direct parallel to the game.
It's important to note that Pellen's connection to the cake comment remains unconfirmed. However, the profile picture change is undeniable, hinting at something – though that "something" might be entirely coincidental.
Initially announced on February 14th, 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was slated for release on Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The sequel follows Hornet's adventures in a new kingdom.
Following a soundtrack preview in December 2019, development updates went quiet for over two years. In February 2022, Pellen reassured fans of ongoing development, promising updates closer to release. A June 2022 trailer at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase showcased new gameplay and confirmed a Game Pass launch.
Despite initial hopes for a 2023 release, a May 2023 announcement confirmed a delay. Team Cherry's Matthew Griffin cited the game's expanded scope as the reason for the postponement.
Over five years later, the dedicated Hollow Knight fanbase remains eager for news, scouring every corner of the internet for updates. The recent speculation, however intriguing, remains just that – speculation. Only time will tell if the cake was a genuine clue or a delicious coincidence.
