The face of indie games – Shovel Knight – was oddly missing from Nintendo's Indie World Showcase earlier this week. Thankfully, Yacht Club Games has a "treasure trove" of news to share about him, next week, on 28th August.
Yes, it's got so much news to share, it has decided to broadcast its very own video presentation on YouTube and Twitch.tv. The YouTube page is already up, and at the time of writing, goes live in approximately four days.
What exactly can we expect from this presentation? If the wording is anything to go by, obviously there will be some Shovel Knight news. In terms of other Yacht Club Games projects, perhaps we'll get some more information about the 8-bit ninja platformer, Cyber Shadow. Could the Shovel Knight board game even get a mention? We'll just have to wait and see!
What are you expecting from this presentation? Leave a comment down below.

I will definitely tune in for this presentation, I really appreciate yacht club games!👍🏼
I’m just curious if the DLC will come to the WiiU versión of Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight 2: Strike Harder.
@Torakaka I really wouldn't mind that actually! But I think they'll be glad to be done with it for btw, and go on and make a new IP entirely.
I hope they make a new Shovel Knight game. They have expressed before they wanted to make Shovel Knight into a Mario-esque franchise. It would be interesting to see a Shovel Knight RPG or racer, something like that.
I just want a definite date for the physical version of shovel knight
@Matthew010 I'm cool with a Shovel Knight racer under one condition: horses.
@fafonio I would be very, very surprised if it doesn't.
Some news about the ninja game, some news about King of Cards and the 4 player battle mode in shovel knight, announcement of amiibo drop and maybe amiibo functions.... and maybe an announcement of a second new game since this should complete development on shovel knight.
@Noid That really would fit with the world of Shovel Knight! It would be interesting to see a horse racer, seeing as almost all mascot racers are in karts.
I like Shovel Knight and everything, but this is a bit egomaniacal. You're just a game dev. Just make an announcement like everyone else.
@Noid Percy as a playable racer? I'd be okay with that.
King of Cards Lost it’s release date entirely earlier this year when they decided they didn’t want to announce another date and risk having to change it again... so I know it’s a long shot, but maybe they decided to have it just be a surprise drop during this presentation? I feel like they did that with one of the expansions. I just want that final expansion out so they could move on to a sequel of sort. Shovel Knight 2: Steelectric Shoveloo?
Hopefully we get a release date for King of Cards and Showdown, the finale of the Wii U.
Its gonna be a bunch of release dates, the announcement of the final update, and end on a tease of Shovel Knight 64
More Shovel Knight ports? Shovel Knight toys? Shovel Knight Super Championship Edition DX Extra? The game was fun when it first came out, but dear god they have stretched it thin 🙄
I lost interest years ago when they announced DLC instead of a proper sequel.
@Matthew010 @Noid can you imagine power sliding on a horse? I’ll want that feature added to Ocarina of Time. Lon Lon Ranch Equestrian Drifting
@ChromaticDracula Imagine what the HD Replays look like!
what? shadow drop on the 28th?
KING OF CARDS RELEASE DATE
(please?)
“King of Cards and Showdown are.....available right now! Amiibos are shipping now!”
That’s what I wanna hear.
Enough of Shovel Knight cameos and updates to Shovel Knight, we need Shovel Knight II.
@victordamazio There’s two more expansions left in SK (King of Cards and Showdown, to be released simultaneously).....after that I imagine they’re ready to work on anything else but Shovel Knight 2. This has been their main project for such a long time now.
Smash? Smash.... Definitely Smash.
@garfreek I think they are working on a new game. It would make sense.
Yacht Club has gotten a huge pass for continuing to push off KoC DLC release without a particular reason than Shovel Knight being the most celebrated indie game ever on Nintendo. I love YC mind, AND SK, they've just milked this for ALL it's worth. Let's grow that library. Time for a sequel... Something. Anyway, rant over.
I can't wait to watch this. So pumped!
If Cyber Shadow is revealed I’ll be more than happy. I just hope they don’t release it and then add a bajillion things to it for years later like with Shovel Knight. Less is more!
@Mr_Muscle Honestly, I completely disagree. Each of the DLCs for Shovel Knight has been fun, relatively unique, and free. I wouldn't want them to grind the title into the dirt by releasing a story for every single Knight, but I wish more companies shared their perspective on free DLC updates.
(But yes, very excited for Cyber Shadow.)
@abe_hikura I love the idea of Shovel Knight 64!!! All those jumping mechanics, varied playable characters and magic spells transformed into a 3D collectathon. Genius.
@Mr_Muscle Yacht Club are just publishing Cyber Shadow, I don't think they're involved in its development.
@OorWullie Good to know! Thanks.
Finally they will announce the Gold Shovel Knight Amiibo that Play Asia and Base have been claiming and taking pre-orders for
@Dev893 Wasn't there supposed to be a last addition to the game, for all devices (included 3DS) ? I never got news of its release.
@Rei it was scheduled for the Spring of this year, but was delayed. It is expected that they'll announce something firm about its release during their presentation this week. They have maintained that it will still be coming to all platforms. I'm not sure if there are any new logistical issues with regard to the older platforms like Wii U. Hopefully we'll know something this week. Perhaps it's even ready for release.
@Rei the last update has definitely been released. I've been playing King Knight's campaign this week, on my computer. You can do an internet search to see what you have to do to update for your platform. Yacht Club Games has a page explaining that process.
@sdelfin Indeed ! I missed relative news and also never got any notification from the console thanks to its not-up-to-date system. ^^"
Thank you.
