Once we’re nearing completion on one set of updates, we’ll be switching our focus to a single campaign to make sure it’s polished for release.”Īs Yacht Club Games focuses on its forthcoming expansions, PlayStation Vita owners will soon be able to pick up a boxed, physical version of Shovel Knight courtesy of publishing partner Fangamer. “How levels change between the two characters, how much time is needed for new mechanics/systems, stories interweaving, and so on. “Creating these updates simultaneously will allow us to plan more cohesively,” Yacht Club Games explains.
SHOVEL KNIGHT POCKET DUNGEON PHYSICAL DOWNLOAD
Like Shovel Knight‘s previous expansion, “ Plague of Shadows,” both the Specter Knight and King Knight campaigns will be free to download for all players.

Yacht Club Games is also working on a third Shovel Knight expansion featuring returning boss enemy King Knight. The Dash Slash also enables higher jumps - a necessity, given that Specter Knight has a lower default jump height than other playable characters. When mastered, the Dash Slash allows players to chain multiple attacks in a row while in midair, keeping them safe from grounded opponents. Specter Knight also boasts a unique Dash Slash ability, allowing him to dive or ascend to slice nearby enemies. Unlike the game’s heroic star Shovel Knight, Specter Knight is able to cling to walls and climb vertical surfaces, recalling similar wall-crawling mechanics from classic 8-bit games like Ninja Gaiden and Sunsoft’s Batman. Yacht Club Games demonstrated the latest playable addition to Shovel Knight‘s cast in a recent Kickstarter update, detailing the many ways in which Specter Knight will challenge returning players.
