Yacht Club Games has today revealed a brand new entry into its hugely popular Shovel Knight series. Confirmed for release on Nintendo Switch, the new game is called Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.

The news comes from today's Yacht Club Games Presents video presentation, where the brand new puzzle-adventure mashup was shown off for the first time. Players will join Shovel Knight on a journey into the depths of the titular Pocket Dungeon, joining up with a mysterious guide known as Puzzle Knight to shovel through foes, grab new equipment, and battle bosses both new and familiar.

It's essentially a falling block-style puzzler, but it comes with a dungeon-crawling twist, as explained by this feature list:
