Shovel Knight coming to Nintendo Switch + More!
Yacht Club Games has just revealed a couple of new announcements for Shovel Knight. Most importantly, the game is getting a port to the Nintendo Switch. The original game will also be getting re-titled to Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, to match the naming scheme of Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment add-ons.
Later on in the year, Yacht Club will be releasing King Knight's Campaign, staring the eponymous character. There will also be a "Battle" mode, where you can fight in up to 4 player local multiplayer.
2 Player local multiplayer will be added to all console home versions of the game as well. This feature used to be exclusive to Wii U owners with a Shovel Knight Amiibo.
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and Specter of Torment will be coming to the Switch, though the company did not clarify on the matter.
Finally, the game's initial price will be raising. You have only a small time frame to buy it at the original price point before it raises. Each portion of the game will now be separate and cost money for new buyers.

All owners of Shovel Knight on all platforms will automatically own Shovel Knight:Treasure Trove instead and will continue to get each of the planned free campaigns and features via updates. It will work exactly like how Shovel Knight was updated to include its first campaign addition, Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. Don’t worry!
