16 characters from the series comprise the roster set against Shovel Knight levels and unseen new stages, and will be a local multiplayer game for PC and consoles. Shovel Knight Showdown is a fighting game that will feature multiple modes, like a two player duel, four player last man standing, a co-operative team battle, and a story campaign. Yacht Club Games will partner with Nitrome to produce Shovel Knight Dig, and we’ll hold tight until we hear a launch date or the platforms it will release onto.Ī new trailer for Shovel Knight Showdown dropped too.

The game departs from side-scrolling and its 8-bit art style, but exciting items and power ups will still be vital for clearing the levels and beating its bosses. The Drill Knight nicked Shovel Knight’s bounty, and the hero will chase after him in an underground undertaking. Shovel Knight Dig will be the next adventure for the critically acclaimed indie pixel platformer. Yesterday, developer Yacht Club Games announced its new game, Shovel Knight Dig, and posted updates on spin offs Shovel Knight Showdown and Shovel Knight: King of Cards.
