As part of today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase, we were treated to a welcome new look at Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon.
A falling block-style puzzler with a dungeon-crawling twist, Pocket Dungeon was first announced for Switch back in February 2020. At the time, it was expected to launch last autumn, but now – after one final development push – the game has secured a new winter 2021 release window.
Here's the latest trailer:

It's looking really good, I'm keen. Reminds me that I need to go back and finish off Treasure Trove too.
this looks better than I expected it to.
co-op AND dungeon exploring mechanics, makes it feel like an amped up Mr. Driller. I'm in.
Definitely on my to buy list now.
Is this Shovel Knight Dig renamed? Or something new entirely. The art style looks very similar.
Ok, but where is Shovel Knight Dig?
@Jey887 Nope, that's a separate game.
@BrazillianCara Lovely, thanks. Can never have enough Shovel Knight.
I’m in 100% on this one.
It appears to have that puzzle gameplay that would compel me. So this one is definitely of interest to me.
Not my genre, but visually it looked great.
Looked very cool, not what I was expecting. Almost caught some Necrodancer vibes in the way combat works tho I realize it’s not rhythm based
