Hollow Knight: Silksong Dev Fuels Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Fever With a Picture of a Chocolate Cake

Author : Oliver Update:Mar 04,2025

Six years after Team Cherry announced Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2017 Metroidvania masterpiece Hollow Knight, fans are buzzing with speculation. The game's absence from various showcases, including The Game Awards, has fueled intense anticipation. Now, a cryptic social media post has ignited a frenzy of theories.

The source of the excitement? A chocolate cake. Team Cherry co-director William Pellen changed his Twitter/X profile picture to a picture of a chocolate cake on January 15th, tweeting, "something big is coming. keep your eyes closed tomorrow." With rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal circulating for January 16th, fans immediately connected the dots.

Is the cake a clue? Image credit: Bon Appétit.

Further investigation revealed the cake picture originated from a Bon Appétit recipe published on April 2, 2024 – the same date as the announced Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2. This led to widespread belief that Pellen initiated an alternate reality game (ARG) hinting at a Silksong reveal.

The mystery deepens with Pellen's new Twitter handle, @everydruidwaswr (a 15-character string, possibly referencing a Silksong NPC), and his new name, "little bomey," potentially alluding to a Southern Australian wine.

While Silksong's initial announcement listed Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch as launch platforms, six years have passed. The possibility of Silksong as a Switch 2 launch title, or a timed exclusive, has become a central point of fan speculation. Is this a carefully orchestrated ARG, or simply overzealous fans grasping at straws?

Only time will tell. We have several months until the April 2nd Direct to uncover the truth. Until then, the Hollow Knight community continues to dissect every detail, searching for clues within the cake, the handle, and the name.
