Today’s Yacht Club Games Presents has come to an end, revealing Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, a brand-new entry in the Shovel Knight series, and more. The nearly 30-minute showcase mostly gave fans a better look at how the retro game developer plans to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its groundbreaking platformer. What that means for players, though, is that the future of its blue shovel-wielding hero is brighter than ever.
That’s thanks to things like Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, a beefed-up version of Yacht Club’s classic that it is referring to as the “definitive edition” of the experience. It promises 20 unique playable characters like Shield Knight, the Enchantress, and many of the members of The Order of No Quarter. Shovel Knight DX also adds a rewind feature and save states as well as more than 300 cheats for those looking to tweak the experience to their desires.
Other promising features include online multiplayer modes and the return of Challenge Stages, Custom Knight, and the Battle Ghost Arena. No release date or platform lineup has been revealed yet, but its Steam page can be found here . We're excited to announce Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX- an enhanced edition of the adventure that started it all.
Embark on a quest to save Shield Knight, defeat the evil Enchantress, & bring down her Order of No Quarter. But that's not all..
