Little Bromey Speaks In Riddles
Redditor RennugunneR has done some digging based on the X post, and has discovered thata British magazine namedGo Nutsreleased its final issue on April 29.On its own, this connection is flimsy, but other fans have noticed another bit of evidence that may confirm this finding.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Devs Assure Kickstarter Backers They’ll Still Be Getting Their Keys, After 6 Years Of Silence
Team Cherry has updated Kickstarter backers about Hollow Knight: Silksong now that it’s finally on the way, after years of anticipation.
It would be too far-fetched to believe, exceptit’s happened before. In January, Little Bromey changed his profile picture on X toa picture of a chocolate cake. It may seem innocuous, but theSilksongcommunity was quick to hunt down the origin of the cake picture and determine that the picture was hinting atSilksong’sappearance in the April 2 Nintendo Direct, which turned out to be the case. Little Bromey frequently posts mysterious riddles, and they often do turn out to be meaningful, soan April 29 release forSilksongis, surprisingly, very possible.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Remains One Of The Most Highly Anticipated Games
Fans Have Been Waiting For Six Years
WhenSilksongwas first revealed in 2019, it was meant to arrive “soon.” The release window was pushed back further and further, until Team Cherry went quiet a few years back and stopped sharing updates with fans. The announcement that the game wouldfinally be released in 2025for all consoles, including the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, came at a time when the community had started losing hope that they would ever get to play the game.
However, it now seems that the believes were right to keep the hope alive, as Team Cherry prepares to release their highly anticipated sequel to the beloved first game.Hollow Knight: Silksongis currently the most wishlisted game onSteam(a title itbriefly lost toinZOI) as it seems the excitement hasn’t died down a bit even after six years in limbo. A predicted release date of April 29 would be amazing, but I think fans would be happy with any 2025 release date as long as they finally get to actually play the game they’ve been waiting years for.
