Silksong fans believe creator’s Switch 2 tease points to April game announcement – and it’s all thanks to a slice of cake
Desperate Silksong fans believe a new ARG hinting at the long-awaited game’s release date has begun, involving the Nintendo Switch 2 and a slice of cake.
Let’s break it down. Two days ago, Hollow Knight and Silksong co-creator William Pellen updated his social media handle, profile name and picture on X.
His handle is now @everydruidwaswr, his name is now “little bomey” and his profile picture is a slice of cake. It’s this slice of cake which fans have now linked to Switch 2.
Why? Well, Pellen went on to tweet: “something big is coming. keep your eyes closed tomorrow”. Tomorrow meaning the 16th January – which was of course when Switch 2 was announced.
So maybe Pellen was just in the know, as a lot of people were, about the Switch 2 reveal? Or, Silksong fans say, maybe there’s more!
A Google reverse image search on the slice of cake image does throw up something odd: that it comes from a recipe page posted on 2nd April 2024. That’s exactly a year ahead of 2nd April 2025, when Nintendo will hold a huge Switch 2 Nintendo Direct and unveil the console’s game line-up properly.
Could it be deliberate? Over on the Silksong reddit, fans say developer Team Cherry has dropped similarly labyrinthine hints previously. Fans also reason that an appearance in the Switch 2 Direct would be a reasonable place for the game to finally materialise.
Silksong’s launch made Eurogamer’s list of our most anticipated moments of 2025 – if it actually launches this year, following years of delays.
“Silksong is the fast-paced and fluid sequel Hollow Knight deserves,” we said after playing a demo of the game – all the way back in 2019.
Silksong fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, and a recent tease from the game’s creator has sparked new excitement. Team Cherry recently shared a photo on Twitter of a slice of cake with the caption “Switch 2,” leading fans to believe that an announcement for Silksong could be coming soon.
Many fans have speculated that the reference to “Switch 2” could be hinting at an upcoming announcement for the game on the Nintendo Switch. With the cake slice appearing to be in the shape of a “2,” fans are hopeful that an April game announcement could be on the horizon.
While Team Cherry has not confirmed any specific details about a release date for Silksong, the recent tease has given fans renewed hope that they may finally get to dive into the world of Silksong in the near future. Keep an eye out for any further announcements from Team Cherry, and in the meantime, enjoy this slice of cake as a tasty reminder of what’s to come.
