As part of theYacht Club Presentsstream, the developer has finally announced that a new mainline game in theShovel Knightseries is in production. There’s no name, release window, or basically anything else, so the rest of this article is going to be pretty sparse.
Shovel Knightis celebrating its 10th Anniversary sinceits release in 2014. A lot of announcements have been made today involving the franchise, butwhile DLCanda new definitive versionof the original are exciting revelations in their own right, many fans will no doubt find this the most exciting bit of news.
Except, once again, that’s essentially all we know.
Yacht Club is promising that this isn’t going to be “just another sequel,” but will be a “bold new adventure that will launchShovel Knightinto an entirely new dimension of gaming.” I almost need to put that last part in a second set of quotes. They go on to say that you should “rest assured” as the sequel will bring “electrifying action, richer mechanics, and all the timeless charm you expect from aShovel Knighttitle.” Okay.
In the meantime, Yacht Club is still hard at work on the fantastic-lookingMina the Hollower, which also got someof its gameplay highlightedduring the stream. There’s also been spin-offs likeShovel Knight DigandShovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon. Fans haven’t been left wanting, but it feels like the time is right for a sequel.
Yacht Club hasn’t announced a name, release window, or platforms for theShovel Knightsequel, yet.
