New Shovel Knight Mainline Game Announced, Will Launch Franchise Into “New Dimension of Gaming”

During today’s Yacht Club Games Presents stream, the studio not only showed new trailers for some of their upcoming projects, but they also officially announced a new Shovel Knight mainline game!

The studio announcement made it clear that this won’t be just another sequel stating, “It’s not just another sequel. It’s a bold new adventure that will launch Shovel Knight into a entirely new dimension of gaming.”  Yacht Club also said that clues for the new game are hidden in the current Shovel Knight titles.

The original Shovel Knight was released back in 2014. Since then, the game has gotten DLC, spin-offs and more but not a proper sequel. Based on Yacht Club Games’ tease of a “new dimension,” it seems we might be moving from 8-bit sprite graphics to maybe something 3D? Or I might be reading too much into this.

Once we know more about this, we’ll be sure to let our readers know, though that might not be for a while. While nothing has been announced, expect the new Shovel Knight sequel to be released on PC and consoles.

Update: The studio has talked more about the upcoming Shovel Knight sequel!

While the studio isn’t ready to unveil anything yet, they mention that fans can be rest assured that the game “will bring electrifying action, richer mechanics, and all the timeless charm you expect from a Shovel Knight title.”

Yacht Club has been developing the sequel for four years now, and referenced Dig and Pocket Dungeon, and all the games in the Treasure Trove as games where clues about the sequel has been left.
