Yacht Club Games has announced that Shovel Knight Dig will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One in a couple weeks’ time, on May 15. Why a PS4 version isn’t on the docket is a mystery, especially with the game set to release for Xbox One. 

Meanwhile, on the same day, Yacht Club Games will also release Wicked Wish, the game’s second major free update, which will add new Relics, bosses, localization improvements, bug fixes, and more. 

In our review of Shovel Knight Dig, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Shovel Knight Dig, while far from being the furthest departure from the franchise’s classic gameplay, still manages to be a unique experience thanks to the unique twist of having to use a platforming move set to make progress by traversing vertical space. The Shovel Knight gameplay is still as crisp as ever, and Shovel Knight Dig’s story and progression systems do a great job of staying out of the way, and ultimately encouraging you to try one more run.” Read the full review through here.

Shovel Knight Dig is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Apple Arcade. 

What Yacht Club Games has announced a second free expansion. Dubbed Wicked Wishes, it will launch this summer, bringing new Relics, bosses, and more, alongside updates to the base experience that include over 100 bug fixes, localization improvements, and more. Yacht Club Games has also confirmed that Wicked Wishes will be the game’s final DLC.

As part of its presentation, Yacht Club Games made several announcements, including Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX and a new mainline Shovel Knight game being in development. The developer also showcased a new trailer for the upcoming Mina the Hollower.
