A fresh wave of excitement has hit the Hollow Knight: Silksong community with a new theory suggesting big news could drop during the Nintendo Direct event on April 2, 2025. This eagerly awaited Metroidvania title first got its debut announcement back in 2019, and despite the long wait, fans are still eagerly anticipating a release date.
Since that initial reveal, information about Hollow Knight: Silksong has been scarce. We do know it will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one and will launch on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Switch, but details have been pretty sparse. With each major gaming event, Hollow Knight enthusiasts hope for new updates on Silksong, only to often walk away empty-handed and disappointed.
Interestingly, a new fan theory has emerged that has sparked hope. Observant Redditors recently noticed that William Pellen, one of the developers behind Hollow Knight: Silksong, changed his Twitter profile picture to a photo of a chocolate cake and his handle to “little bomey.” Coincidentally, the cake image is linked to a recipe published on April 2, 2024. Given that the big Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is also slated for April 2, this combination of events leads fans to speculate that Silksong might play a part in the presentation.
As Hollow Knight fans try to decode the significance of Pellen’s Twitter changes, many are starting to firmly believe that a Silksong reveal could be in the cards during the upcoming Nintendo Direct. Of course, it could all just be a nod to the Switch 2 announcement with no relation to Silksong, though such a coincidence seems a bit suspicious.
However, veterans of the Hollow Knight: Silksong waiting game advise maintaining cautious optimism. Given the game’s absence from several past Nintendo Directs and other events, it’s wiser to avoid getting overly hopeful and instead be ready for either a surprise reveal or another case of silence. Meanwhile, the gaming world eagerly anticipates Switch 2 pricing details, its release date, and the announcement of launch titles at the Direct.
In Hollow Knight: Silksong, players will take on the role of Hornet, the princess-protector of Hallownest, embarking on a perilous adventure to conquer a new realm ruled by silk and song. This sequel to the acclaimed Hollow Knight offers new powers, formidable foes, and deep secrets to uncover across brand-new landscapes. Developed and published by Team Cherry using the Unity engine, Hollow Knight: Silksong promises a thrilling addition to the franchise. Keep an eye out – April 2 could bring the game news fans have been waiting for.
