Shovel Knight is getting a sequel in a ‘new dimension’
Shovel Knight might be bouncing into 3D. Developer Yacht Club Games just announced a new mainline game in the hit series that started as a retro-inspired 2D platformer, and the studio says this new game will “launch Shovel Knight into an entirely new dimension of gaming,” according to a blog post.
If that wasn’t enough of a clue about the move to 3D, the Yacht Club Games’ Friday livestream celebrating the 10th anniversary of Shovel Knight featured an even more pointed hint: a 3D version of the Yacht Club Games logo.
The studio is staying mum about many specifics — there’s no release window — but did tease that “the game will bring electrifying action, richer mechanics, and all the timeless charm you expect from a Shovel Knight title.”
While you wait for that new game, Yacht Club Games will have a lot of new things you can play. The studio also announced Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, the “definitive edition” of the original Shovel Knight title that adds things like online multiplayer, stereoscopic 3D, a rewind power, in-game cheats, and the ability to play as 20 different Shovel Knight characters. Yacht Club Games says the game is “coming soon.” Shovel Knight Dig and Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon are also getting free DLC this summer.
The developer also shared new footage of Mina the Hollower, its upcoming game that looks to be heavily inspired by the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Mina also has a vague “coming soon” launch date, and I look forward to a more specific release window — the game looks fantastic.
