Shovel Knight's 10th Anniversary Brings Announcement of Bold New Adventure

Confirmed: There is a new Shovel Knight coming summer.

Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase and Ubisoft Forward have concluded, yet the summer gaming events continue. We're still anticipating Nintendo's upcoming Direct, and on Friday night, Yacht Club Games hosted an event of their own.

Their presentation largely celebrated the tenth anniversary of Shovel Knight. However, they had a thrilling announcement: a new Shovel Knight game is in development.

Rather than being a sequel, this new title promises a bold new adventure, propelling Shovel Knight into an entirely new dimension of gaming. The developers guarantee an experience that not only respects the Shovel Knight legacy but also introduces groundbreaking, innovative gameplay mechanics. Players can look forward to electrifying action, richer mechanics, and all the timeless charm associated with Shovel Knight titles.

This is exciting news, although the new game will still be recognizable as it aims to honor the original's legacy. While we await more information, it is suggested to play previous Shovel Knight games, as they may contain clues about what is coming.

We shouldn't expect to see any additional information in the immediate future, but knowing there's more to come is promising. Check out the full event below.
