The buzz around Hollow Knight: Silksong is back, with some intriguing rumors suggesting that news about the much-anticipated sequel to the Metroidvania hit might arrive on April 2, 2025. This speculation is fueled by a quirky detail noticed by fans: one of the developers updated their profile image to feature a slice of chocolate cake. Interestingly, this image is reportedly linked to a recipe dated April 2, which has further fueled the rumor mill.
Hollow Knight: Silksong, after being announced in 2019, has kept its fanbase on tenterhooks for over half a decade, still without a concrete release date. Since the first trailer dropped, new information has been sparse. It’s confirmed that The Game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one and will also launch on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Switch. Nevertheless, details about the game remain elusive, with each major gaming event ending in disappointment for fans eagerly waiting for updates.
In the gaming community, rumors have taken an interesting turn recently. Fans on Reddit noted that William Pellen, a developer for Hollow Knight: Silksong, made some odd changes to his Twitter account. His profile now features a chocolate cake image, his handle changed to “everydruidwaswr,” and his name to “little bomey.” This peculiar behavior coincided with a teaser about the Switch 2 reveal just the day before it went public. The cake image originates from an April 2, 2024, recipe, and the fact that the Nintendo Direct event for Switch 2 is also set for that day has fans hopeful that some Silksong news will be shared.
Despite these tantalizing hints, it’s crucial for fans to manage their expectations. Hollow Knight: Silksong has remained absent from many gaming showcases, making it wise to be pleasantly surprised rather than face another letdown. As for the upcoming Nintendo Direct, expectations are focused on the announcement of the Switch 2’s price, release date, and launch titles, but one can always hope for that exciting Silksong update to be part of the package.
Hollow Knight: Silksong invites players to step into the role of Hornet, the fierce princess protector of Hallownest. In this sequel to the award-winning Hollow Knight, players journey through entirely new realms steeped in silk and song. Hornet must battle various foes and solve mysteries to reach the summit of the kingdom, uncovering secrets tied to her identity and past as she progresses, offering both rich storytelling and engaging gameplay.
