A new mainline Shovel Knight game is currently in development, Yacht Club Games announced.

“A brand-new mainline Shovel Knight game is in development,” said Yacht Club Games founder Sean Velasco in the announcement. “We’re committed to crafting an experience that not only honors the Shovel Knight legacy, but also pioneers groundbreaking, innovative gameplay mechanics. This isn’t just another sequel—it’s a bold new adventure that will launch Shovel Knight into an entirely new dimension of gaming.

And for those of you eager to uncover what’s coming next, you might find subtle clues scattered throughout our previous games. Make sure to play [Shovel Knight Dig], [Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon], and all the games in the Treasure Trove to notice the hidden details we’ve planted.”
