During the commemorative event for ten years since the birth of the series, Yacht Club Games announced a series of important news for Shovel Knight , including the arrival of a new chapter of the franchise dedicated to the adventures of the Shovel Knight.
The new Shovel Knight game is untitled and hasn’t been shown in any way, but Yacht Club has confirmed that it is in development. The studio suggested that various clues to the nature of this title can be found in other chapters such as Shovel Knight Dig, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon and Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. The studio further states: “We are committed to creating an experience that not only honors the legacy of Shovel Knight, but also pioneers innovative and groundbreaking gameplay mechanics. This isn’t just another sequel – it’s a bold new adventure which will launch Shovel Knight into a whole new gaming dimension . “
We’ll have to wait to see what this new game will be, but in the meantime the team has revealed an “Enhanced” version of the original chapter of the franchise, called Shovel of Hope DX . This is essentially the definitive edition of the 2014 indie cult hit , with 20 new playable characters, a rewind function, online multiplayer, cheats and more. Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX has no launch window or platforms announced at this time. To top it off, Yacht Club also announced free DLC for Shovel Knight Dig (its final content pack) and Pocket Dungeon.
