It looks like Shovel Knight is spinning off once again, as Yacht Club Games announced Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon during a livestream earlier today.
According to the developer’s official website, Pocket Dungeon was designed as a unique “puzzle adventure mashup” that brings together the world of falling block puzzle games with a dungeon-crawling twist. Shovel Knight will need to keep his wits about him (and his trademark sense of humor) as he teams up with Puzzle Knight to navigate the mysterious Pocket Dungeon:
Delve with Shovel Knight into the depths of the Pocket Dungeon in an action-packed puzzle adventure mashup like none other! Join your mysterious guide Puzzle Knight as you shovel through scads of foes, procure new equipment, and battle bosses both familiar and new. Explore a tale with endless twists and turns, quest as your favorite heroes, and even challenge a friend for fast-paced head-to-head competition in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon!
Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon will include multiple playable characters, each with a unique style, and players will be able to compete in a single-player Story Mode or two-player Versus Mode. And Yacht Club’s musical maestro, Jake Kaufman, will once again provide the soundtrack.
Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon is currently in development for the Switch and fans will be able to try it out at this weekend’s PAX East expo in Boston. The game’s first trailer has been embedded above.
