It may have left out one platform, but it’s safe to say that the game from Nitrome and Yacht Club Games won’t be exclusive to Nintendo Switch.

When Drill Knight and his dastardly digging crew blow up Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his loot, Shovel Knight grabs his trusty Shovel Blade and starts digging after them! Meet new friends and foes, visit strange lands, and equip yourself in your quest to keep the entire country from collapsing beneath your feet! Jump, slash, and dig your way down an ever-changing chasm of mystery. This is the first Shovel Knight adventure to feature gorgeous high-color pixel graphics and sound. Fluid animation, scaling, rotation, and parallax create the most immersive Shovel Knight world yet! Levels are meticulously crafted, then stitched together using proprietary generation techniques for endless replayability.

Jump, slash and dig your way down in an all-new direction! Rely on your trusty shovel drop, then dig through huge swaths of dirt with the all-new Speed Shovel mechanic. Grow in power and wealth as you descend into the depths of the earth. Emerge with untold riches to further equip Shovel Knight, unlocking permanent items and upgrades to your shoveling equipment. New knights, new characters, and new enemies abound, but fear not! Shovel Knight Dig features Shovel Knight’s signature storytelling, humor, and maybe even some familiar faces. Another pulse-pounding soundtrack in a new style by the amazing virtuoso Jake Kaufman!

In Fate & Fortune, something truly evil must be brewing at the bottom of the well, and it’s up to Shovel Knight and Black Knight to uncover the true Knightmare and put a stop to it! Once you’ve completed the base game, you’ll unlock Knightmare Mode, which adds a whole new level of challenge. In Wicked Wishes, your new adventure begins when you enter Hoofman’s Guild Hall – a secret hideaway where elite quest-seekers and their illustrious patrons gather. Climb the ranks of the guild by completing their exciting challenges. Collect powerful relics and buffs, face new bosses and enemies, and unravel the mysteries surrounding the immaculately dressed horse and its supreme adventurer, the Guildarch. But be careful what you wish for, because nasty consequences await in the well.

Shovel Knight Dig 2022 is scheduled for release on September 23, 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PC, and Apple Arcade. A PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Xbox One port will be released alongside the Wicked Wishes update on May 15.
