He teased "something big is coming. keep your eyes closed tomorrow," fueling anticipation for the leaked Switch 2 reveal on January 16th. The inevitable Silksong questions arose, but Pellen's subsequent actions only intensified the speculation.

It's crucial to note that Pellen's connection to the cake recipe comment remains unconfirmed. However, the profile picture change is undeniable, leaving fans to ponder whether it's a genuine hint or merely a coincidence.
