In Hollow Knight: Silksong’s case, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct cake was somehow not a lie

It’s possibly the weirdest way this apparent cheeky foreshadowing could have played out, so of course it’s happened to Silksong.

You weren’t dreaming. Hollow Knight: Silksong really did show up at yesterday’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct ! It was a very brief cameo, but by skong, people said, we’ll take it.

So, we now know it’s coming to Switch 2 at some point in 2025, but as of recently the chances of actually getting any info about Team Cherry’s highly-desired game on April 2 seemed like they were totally random. That is, unless you bought into a theory based around cake that surfaced back in January, and continued to believe even when the devs themselves looked to have poured water on the speculation fire.

It wasn’t though, as April 2 came and boom, there was Silksong in the Direct. Cue Reddit posts declaring " THE CAKE WAS REAL!!!! “, as those who kept on believing take their victory lap. Also, a fresh comment posted 13 hours ago on the cake recipe from an account with the handle ‘A_TRUE_SKONGER’ reads: “The cake turned out very well! Thank you for the amazing recipe!”

You love to see it. What does this mean in terms which wacky theories you should buy into when the skongers start itching for a release date more specfic than just the year 2025? We’ve got no skonging idea.

Did you never doubt that the Hollow Knight : Silksong cake theory would actually be right about something deliciously skongy coming out of the oven on April 2? Let us know below!
