Among these announcements, Body Swap Mode has been added. Have a look at these released designs:

In addition, co-op mode will be added to all versions, bar the 3DS and Vita. This allows a lot of replayability to the game and has been a requested item for some time.

Shovel Knight will also be rebranded to Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope to go with the new titles. Plague of Shadows will be released separately allowing players to go through Plague Knight’s campaign whenever they want. Specter of Torment allows players to take on the role of the reaper, which will change things up.

Even more will be added in 2017! (Titles TBD)

Shovel Knight: King Knight’s Campaign – A crazy campaign with the gilded goob himself! Shovel Knight: Battle Mode – Duel with up to 4 players as your favorite heroic or villainous knight! (3DS/Vita not included)

There’s certainly a lot coming for fans of Shovel Knight. Will you be picking these up? Dig down in the comments!
