Kyedae has finally confirmed a date for her Twitch return, ending a hiatus that began in April 2025. The Valorant star updated her social media profiles to say she’ll be back on October 20th, and her Instagram return marks the end of a long silence.
“I’ll be back on Oct 20th on Twitch :),” her social media bios now say. She has also returned to Instagram, posting a grid for the first time since December 2024.
The Break That Lasted
Kyedae announced her indefinite hiatus in April 2025. At the time, she said she was “kind of done” with streaming and had started to grow a “resentment toward it.” She also said she might go live on Twitch “randomly,” but she never did so on her own channel.
Instead, Kyedae popped up in the background of other broadcasts and appeared in YouTube videos with friends since taking a break. She confirmed her return would happen “very soon” in an Instagram story, but she did not name a specific date until now.
Fans have been asking about a return for months. Back in October 2025, Kyedae simply told a fan “no” when asked if a return was on the cards.
What Changed Her Mind
Kyedae has been experimenting with content outside of Valorant. She told her sister, Sakura Shymko, that she would be trying new things when she comes back.
“I actually just recently messaged somebody about getting into NoPixel,” she said. “I think that’s what it’s called, because when I come back, I don’t want to just be doing Valorant.”
That conversation suggests the hiatus gave Kyedae room to explore other interests. Rather than drifting back into her old routine, she has actively reached out about a different project.
The Instagram Comeback
Kyedae’s Instagram return is notable on its own terms. Her first grid post since December 2024 signals that she is rebuilding her online presence.
The grid is a practical sign of activity. After months of silence, a fresh Instagram feed is evidence that Kyedae is once again engaging with her audience.
As noted, Kyedae has been on and off with social media since taking her break from Twitch. The Instagram comeback is a concrete sign that she is preparing for a full return to streaming.
The Relationship News
Kyedae has also made a personal announcement since her hiatus. In February, she confirmed she had been broken up with longtime boyfriend Tenson ‘TenZ’ Van Ngo for “quite some time.”
TenZ responded publicly, urging viewers to stop spreading “blind hate” against his ex-girlfriend. He pushed back at “disgusting” claims of cheating taking place during their relationship.
The breakup news came alongside Kyedae’s broader shift away from streaming. It is part of the picture, but it is not the main reason she stepped away.

Why the Return Matters
Kyedae’s hiatus was a significant departure from her usual schedule. Her stated reasons — being “kind of done” with streaming and growing resentment toward it — were personal and specific.
The confirmation changes that dynamic. Fans now know when she will be back, which gives them something concrete to wait for. Instead of wondering when she might return, they now have a date.
Kyedae’s stated desire to experiment with GTA RP is also significant. The NoPixel server is a known destination for streamers, and Kyedae’s interest reflects that trend.
What to Expect on October 20th
Kyedae’s return will likely bring attention from both her existing fanbase and new viewers curious about her GTA plans. The NoPixel angle gives her a distinct identity beyond Valorant.
The October 20th date is now official. The question is whether Kyedae can deliver on her promise to play more than just Valorant.
