Are you ready for more Shovel Knight?
When Yacht Club Games first unleashed their action platformer, Shovel Knight, into the world, we ate it up. Everyone loved the game and it even went on to spawn several campaigns. Just when you thought Shovel Knight was over and done with, they went ahead and announced Shovel Knight Dig. Our armored hero is back in action!
When Drill Knight and his dastardly digging crew blast apart Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his loot, he grabs his trusty Shovel Blade and starts tunneling after them! Meet new friends and foes, visit strange lands, and outfit yourself in your quest to keep the entire land from collapsing underfoot! Jump, slash, and dig your way down an ever-changing chasm of mystery in Shovel Knight Dig, an all-new Shovel Knight adventure!
