Social media promo image not displayed in previews on Twitter

I'm dealing with an issue which as far as I can tell appeared just today. The problem is that it appears that the social media promo image for one of my game pages is not showing up in the preview of tweets anymore. I believe this is an issue related to itch.io as I've been able to replicate it both on my desktop and mobile on twitter. The issue is as follows.

Despite having set up a social media promo image and everything was working fine when posting the game page link to Twitter with a preview in the past, today appears to be an exception as it no longer shows up in new tweets I attempt to make nor is the promo image showing in preview of old tweets anymore. At first I thought it might have been a browser cache problem on my end, but after clearing the cache, this does not appear to be the case.

The game page on itch.io I'm referring to is: https://gunnlaugur-arnarson.itch.io/junkpunk. The problem is that it shows up as in the image here below, while other game pages I've tried to put into tweets will appear as they should with their promo image or thumbnail. This is not a problem on Facebook, the page appears as normal there.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Does anyone know what could be the problem and what can be done to solve this?
