Unless this cake is lying to you Silksong will reappear in April

Speculations suggest that Team Cherry will re-reveal the highly anticipated metroidvania game, Hollow Knight: Silksong, in April. This theory is based on a series of Reddit posts discussing clues related to cake. A Twitter account claiming to be a Silksong developer posted a tweet hinting at the Switch 2 announcement, using a profile picture of cake from a recipe book published on April 2, 2024, which aligns with the date of the Nintendo Direct teased in the Switch 2 announcement set for April 2, 2025.

According to the Reddit discussions, it is believed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be showcased on April 2, 2025, as part of the Switch 2 launch lineup. This assumption stems from the cake tweet’s accuracy regarding the Switch 2 announcement, implying that Silksong is a game for the new console. For a more detailed analysis, refer to Eurogamer’s coverage.

In case you’ve forgotten, Hollow Knight: Silksong is the sequel to Hollow Knight, announced back in 2019. The game follows the character Hornet on a journey upwards through various environments, unlike its predecessor, which focused on descending. With promises of new skills, tools, and over 150 new enemies, it’s expected that the game has undergone significant changes over the five-year development period. Here’s a roundup of everything known about Silksong so far.

Will we finally see gameplay footage or receive a release date for Silksong during the Switch 2 event in April? The answer remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – expectations are high for this long-awaited sequel.
