Shovel Knight’s next campaign update fulfills Yacht Club’s final Kickstarter promises

One of the coolest games to come out of Kickstarter is getting some more stuff for us to play with in the near future.

Shovel Knight, the throwback platforming adventure, is getting an update that will add two new characters to the campaign. Developer Yacht Club Games announced on Twitter that it is creating campaigns for the boss characters Specter Knight and King Knight. As the studio did with its previous additions, it is tailoring the gameplay for the abilities of those characters. This means that each character is essentially getting its own campaign with its own story beats to play through. Shovel Knight generated $311,502 after asking for $75,000 on the crowdfunding Kickstarter platform in 2013. It has also surpassed 1 million copies sold. Delivering King and Specter was part of a stretch goal for that project, and it should complete the game Yacht Club promised following that campaign.
