Six years after Team Cherry announced Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2017 Metroidvania hit Hollow Knight, the game's release remains shrouded in mystery. Despite appearances at various events and a seeming confirmation by Microsoft of a pre-June 2023 launch (which didn't happen), Silksong was absent from The Game Awards. Could the recently announced Nintendo Switch 2 Direct finally provide an answer?
Fans believe so, and it all started with a cake.
Sharp-eyed members of the Hollow Knight subreddit noticed that on January 15th, Team Cherry co-director William Pellen changed his Twitter/X profile picture to a chocolate cake. He tweeted: "something big is coming. keep your eyes closed tomorrow."

With rumors circulating about a January 16th Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, the timing was suspicious. Indeed, Nintendo did announce the Switch 2 that day, leaving many questions unanswered. Did Pellen's tweet hint at the Switch 2 reveal? If so, why?
This sparked intense speculation within the Hollow Knight community. Fans reverse-image-searched the cake, tracing it to a Brooklyn Blackout Cake recipe on Bon Appétit, published on April 2nd, 2024.
The significance? Nintendo confirmed a Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 for Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025. Fans theorize Pellen initiated an alternate reality game (ARG) with the tweet and cake image.
The mystery deepens. Fans are analyzing Pellen's new X/Twitter handle, @everydruidwaswr, and his new name, "little bomey." One compelling theory links "everydruidwaswr" (15 characters, matching Twitter's handle limit) to a Silksong NPC, the Druid of the Moss Temple. "Little bomey" resembles a South Australian wine, aligning with Team Cherry's location, but the slight spelling difference adds to the intrigue.
Recall that Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Six years later, has Nintendo secured Silksong as a Switch 2 launch title, perhaps as a timed exclusive? Or is this all elaborate fan speculation fueled by anticipation?
We'll know in a few months. Until then, let's review everything revealed at the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement.
