Did you wake up this morning thinking to yourself that it’s been far too long since we had a new Shovel Knight game? If you did, you’re in luck, as Yacht Club Games and Nitrome have announced their new Shovel Knight Dig title for Nintendo Switch, Apple Arcade, and PC (Steam), which will be released on September 23rd, 2022.
How cool is that?
Shovel Knight Dig will take players in a different role than the original Shovel Knight game. Now, players will take to the underground world and explore new levels, fight new enemies, and even come across some allies. It’s sort of like if Shovel Knight and Dig Dug became best friends, and a game was made out of it.
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! But as he and Shield Knight soon discover, this adventure goes much deeper than a simple heist…
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!
It looks like it will be time to pick up thy shovel and get back at it again. Sadly, this won’t be available on any PlayStation or Xbox consoles, which is a bizarre move. Still, I can’t hate on Shovel Knight Dig, as I’m digging (Ha, dad jokes!) the visuals, enjoyed the first Shovel Knight game.
Shovel Knight Dig will dig its way into your hearts on September 23rd, 2022.
