If you’re someone who’s kept a close eye on the indie gaming scene over the past six years, you undoubtedly know about the buzz surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong. Ever since it was announced, the gaming community has been eagerly awaiting any hint of a release date. But after years of radio silence, hope has come from the most unexpected of places—a cake recipe. Yes, you heard that right, and it might just be the funniest potential tease we’ve seen for Silksong yet.
This curious saga kicked off when a Team Cherry member changed their Discord tag and profile picture to an image of a mouth-watering cake around the time of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Ever-alert Silksong fans took to the internet, conducting a reverse image search on the cake picture. What they found was a recipe, and it was as if they’d stumbled upon treasure—Bon Appetit’s Brooklyn Blackout Cake, posted by Rick Martinez on April 2, 2024. Now, here’s where it gets interesting: the next Nintendo Direct is scheduled for April 2, 2025. Suddenly, what seemed like a fun coincidence started to turn into what fans hope is a tasty hint at what’s coming.
But hold on, there’s more to this cake mystery. Dive into the comments section of the Brooklyn Blackout Cake recipe, and you’ll find remarks from Ari Gibson and William Pellen, both significant figures at Team Cherry. Though their comments aren’t exactly confirmations, one stands out. Gibson humorously rated the cake “4/2,” slyly nodding to both the recipe’s publication date and the Nintendo Direct.
Could this mean that all of you who’ve yearned for Silksong over the years might finally get some answers? Or is Team Cherry having a laugh at the expense of hungry fans? After all, it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen anything new, and we’d hope Team Cherry has been diligently working on more than just baking.
With an eagerly awaited Nintendo Direct on the horizon, featuring Switch 2 news and potentially Silksong news, excitement is reaching fever pitch. It promises to be unforgettable—let’s just hope it’s not a wild goose chase.
Do you believe Silksong will make its grand appearance in April, or are fans destined to remain in suspense? Share your thoughts below!
