I hope we’ll never stop hearing about Shovel Knight, and the developers at Yacht Club Games seem to agree as they’ve just teased an all-new “game” coming to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove.
The development team took to Twitter to say this:
Knights assemble!
Stay tuned to @IGN next week for the first look at an all new game coming to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. We can't wait to throw down the gauntlet and show you what we've been working on!

It’s a bit unclear as to whether this new addition to the overall universe will be a new game mode or a new storyline similar to Plague of Shadows or Specter of Torment. Nonetheless, it’s super awesome that Yacht Club Games is continuing to show so much love for the tiny shovel-wielding hero.
King of Cards, the third storyline in Treasure Trove, is still set to release in the latter half of 2018, according to Yacht Club Games. Outside of the main collection of games, Shovel Knight has been keeping busy appearing in games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Blade Strangers, Rivals of Aether, and more. The little blue dude is truly everywhere.
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is currently available on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, 3DS, PS Vita, PC, PS3, and Wii U.
