As many of you are aware, the much anticipated Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows expansion is now available as a free update. Following the adventures of Plague Knight, a member of the Order of No Quarter, it's a refreshing remix on the original campaign that does an excellent job of expanding the lore and world of Shovel Knight. The expansion has its own original soundtrack featuring a mixture of new tunes and remixes of old ones, and fans will doubtless be delighted to hear that it's now up for download.
In addition to the ten new tracks and assorted remixes that are already present, this OST will also be featuring a new vocal single called "Alchemy" from Mint Potion. Mint Potion is a new collaboration project between Jake "virt" Kaufman (the man behind the original game's OST), Dale "CorgiKing" North, and Jeff Ball. Evidently, Mint Potion will be contributing to future soundtracks, as well.
This soundtrack is just as good, if not better, than the original OST and you can pick it up on BandCamp here for whatever price you wish to pay. Yes, this does mean you can get it for free, but do consider showing support and appreciation for the excellent work that these artists put out.
What do you think? Will you be downloading this soon? What do you think of the Plague of Shadows expansion so far? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Good ol' Virt, never disappoints.
Nice. Will give'em some dollars when I'm paid. Because I LOVE SN! ♥♥
Awesome. I haven't played the expansion yet, but I love having downloads of good video game songs, and enjoyed the music in the original game.
There is also music for the base game, as well as Shantae and mighty switch force, all you can either download or buy.
If there's any game's soundtrack I want to hear performed by a live orchestra someday...
I must say, Shovel Knights soundtrack is one of the better indie games soundtracks I've heard in a while. This might be worth getting.
FREE IT IS THEN! lol
I don't even have the game yet, what am I saying?
I LOVE FREE STUFF
@Nomad Yeah, Jake Kaufman and Manami Matsumae did a really great job with this. An authentic 8bit soundtrackm that does not need to hide behind greats of old times
"Strike the Earth" alone puts quite a lot of other tracks to shame
Gonna give at least 5 for this .. I'm a fan of good music!
Kinda sad I don't have the the game yet but don't know whether go with 3ds or wii u version?
Great, loved the music in Shovel Knight so I'm really pleased.
@arrmixer I have it for PS4 and Vita and must say I played it a lot more on the handheld version...
But then again, with the Wii U you could play it on the pad, too, no?
If so, I'd go for the Wii U version.
If not, go for the 3DS one.
Either way, get the game, it is really good.
@you could go either way I recommend both. 3Ds has fantastic 3d effect and streetpass . Wii U has the diary tips thing through miiverse which is incredible.
@dumedum @adzix
Thanks for the info gentlemen most probably go with Wii u or both! Lol
I think Virt is great, but Shovel Knight's music probably annoyed me more than any game I've ever played. It was just so fast. Felt like it was mocking me, just being annoying for the sake of it. I desperately wanted an option to turn the speed of the music down.
