When Yacht Club Games first introduced Shovel Knight into the world via Kickstarter, no one could’ve predicted that it would be the title that it became. It was simply supposed to be an 8-bit platformer like the games of old, and yet with some new characters and flair. However, once people played it, they loved it. Soon, the title was ported to all sorts of systems, got DLC, sequels, spinoffs, cameos in other games, etc. The developer made games since then, but their titular OG hero has always been special.
Fast forward to now, and Yacht Club Games did a special 10th-anniversary presentation where they announced a NEW Shovel Knight game was in the works! Just as important, it would be a FRESH game in the series that they tease might even be 3D in nature. While they didn’t show any footage or logos, they did tease that past games have clues about what’s coming. So, if you have Treasure Trove, Dig, or some of the other games, give them another playthrough and see if you can guess what’s coming!
