Hollow Knight: Silksong fans were disappointed after an online theory, dubbed the ‘cake theory,’ was revealed to be unfounded. The theory originated from a cryptic tweet by a developer, leading many fans to believe it was part of an alternate reality game (ARG) hinting at the game’s release. However, it was later confirmed to be a hoax, leaving the community frustrated and discouraged over the lack of official updates for the highly anticipated game.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This incident highlights both the passionate enthusiasm of the Hollow Knight fanbase and the challenges of managing expectations in the gaming industry, especially for a project as highly anticipated as Silksong. Moments like these underline the responsibility developers and associated individuals carry with their communications, as subtle hints or inferences can easily spiral out of control online. The debunked theory, while disappointing, also emphasizes the community’s hunger for meaningful updates — perhaps a signal for the game’s developers to consider more transparent or frequent communication strategies. As a developer, it’s a reminder of the emotional stakes tied to highly awaited projects, and the need to balance hype with clarity.
