Shovel Knight has been out for quite some time, yet Yacht Club Games is still diligently working through its original Kickstarter stretch goals to deliver free updates to the game. The next content due is 'Specter of Torment', and it looks like a good bet that we'll get a look at it during the pre-show for The Game Awards.
Yacht Club Games has teased as much in a tweet, utilising a bit of wordplay for the Reaper-like Specter Knight.
As you can see in the tweet the pre-show starts at 5.30pm Pacific / 8.30pm Eastern / 1.30am UK / 2.30am CET, with the full awards show following after that. We'll be live streaming and blogging all of it on 1st October.
Will you be tuning in?
With thanks to Benson for the heads up.

Shovel Knight for Wii U is cancelled! Oh Noezzz!
I'm sure it'll be great whatever it is. And though it's on late here in Europe I'll be paying attention to the show.
@ThomasBW84 Just a small typo. 1st October?
Yes!!! I'm looking forward to this, as Shovel Knight became one of my favorite games last year.
I know they feel like they need to live up to the content they promised but when are they going to make something entirely new?! Do they want to be known as that Shovel Knight company forever??
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hah! I caught that, too. That was probably a mistake...right? I didn't travel back in time to September, did I? Do I need to play the song?
But wait, there'll be a secret surprise!
No More Shovel Knight Content on Wii U Version After Spector of Torment; Switch Version Announced
Anyone else want to reveal a cancellation?
Man these guys are awesome
Cool, weirdly enough I actually enjoyed the Plague Knight campaign even more than the regular one, so I'm looking forward to this.
Is a Shovel Knight release for the Nintendo Switch really that predictable?
lol I love how people are complaining about them making good on all the free content they promised from their kickstarter instead of skipping it to make a new game.
Most excellent.
Won't come to the Wii u version, mark my words.
Finally, Specter Knight... the one I liked
@Expa0 nothing weird about it. I also enjoyed the Plague Knight game more than the original, which was also very good. Just a matter of play style. Lots of people prefer Plague Knight, just as many prefer the original.
@Spoony_Tech I wouldn't be surprised if they've already begun working on something new. They did a survey asking people for input on the kind of game they'd like to see, so it's obviously on their mind. In the meantime, getting the promised Shovel Knight content out will do wonders for their reputation and will likely guarantee their next few funding campaigns will be highly successful.
@Steel76 moving on implies they stop working on the promised content for the original game. That would do their brand a lot of damage. Finishing the promised campaigns will have positive effects on future funding efforts. But they asked for input on future games from fans, so it's likely they're planning or working on something new as well.
