Topic: Shovel Knight Dig

Didn’t see this reported on this website today but a new trailer landed today for Shovel Knight Dig!

Looks like a cross between SK and SWD! Awesome sauce!

Doesn’t have a release date yet but apparently there is a playable demo at PAX (they have been working on it for a year with Nitrome) so may be sooner than we think.

Definitely going on my upcoming buys list.

Honestly wish these guys would stop messing around with all this peripheral stuff and just make a Shovel Knight 2.

Well technically they're still finishing 1!

@Dezzy Perhaps this is a stepping stone to a Shovel Knight 2, which I'm sure they wouldn't want to announce before King of Cards is out. It is possible that the new and updated graphics for this side game will be incorporated into a proper sequel.

They are milking it al out lol.
But hey you dont hear me complaining!

Personally found this more interesting than the normal Shovel Knight since I really suck at platformers!

But it looks interesting for sure, can't wait for... whenever it's out. Like idk how many years lol

Looks like this isn't made by the main Shovel Knight team?

Developed by Nitrome (developer of Bomb Chicken) rather than Yacht Club themselves.

@Magician From here: https://yachtclubgames.com/2019/08/shovel-knight-dig/

it said that it's a joint project between those two companies.

Sure sure, that's the official frontline statement.

But I doubt this is much different than Nintendo and Brace Yourself Games with Cadence of Hyrule.

It's Yacht Club's IP, but Nitrome is doing the development.

Dig is a cool announcement, but I won't be satisfied until we get DLC campaigns for every Order of No Quarter Knight plus the Wandering Fighters and Shield Knight!

...I'm only partially kidding.

Feels a bit too close to steam world dig, with the name and stuff.

I should confirm I'm absolutely buying this, unless it sucks (doubtful but y'know...). I have been and will continue to take advantage of the free updates of Shovel Knight through the end instead of paying for anything beyond my initial purchase in 2014. Which rules, but I'd feel like a jerk if I didn't buy other things they put out, and Shovel Knight has been such of such ridiculous quality for no extra cost that they've earned a ton of trust from me. Like I realize new versions of Shovel Knight cost more now, but anyone who bought the game at 15 bucks is still gonna get updates for free, and that's absurd just how far the devs are going to keep their kickstarter promises from ages ago.

Granted, its not like I was going to not buy a new Shovel Knight game anyway...
