Shovel Knight Team Give Hope For Final DLC Release

By Todd BlackMay 6, 2019
Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight is arguably one of the most important games of the last decade. It started as a simple Kickstarter game, but became so much more. And Yacht Club Games has expanded the franchise in many ways much to the delight of fans. But, the final DLC for the game, King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown, has been delayed many times. Including when it was REALLY close to release in April.

The team is still promising it’ll come out soon, and they even did an interview stating where they are at with it and why it’s continually delayed:

“Well, when Specter Knight came on the Switch and did really well, we were like ‘Woohoo, now we can do whatever we want with King of Cards’ and so it kind of turned into a big celebration of all the Shovel Knight games and all the things that we wanted to put in. Everything that didn’t make it in was because we didn’t have time or for some other reason. Basically, just like every idea that we ever had, we just stuffed it all into King of Cards. And so, as a result, it became this big, giant, overblown thing with a bunch of levels. It’s funny, and it’s strange, and there is a giant card game minigame. But that also kind of blew the schedule out a little bit.

There are the amiibos, Shovel Knight Showdown, and King of Cards, and we decided that none of those elements were gonna come out until all of those elements were ready. So that’s basically why we had a delay. We could’ve maybe only focused on King of Cards and gotten that out, but then we had to do Showdown, and we wanted to get the retail version of the game that has everything in the box. So we just are slowly pushing it all together, all at once, and then finally it’ll be ready to go. We didn’t want to get a date until we were sure, but it should be real soon.”

This may not be the answer you’re hoping for, but it is hope.
