Shovel Knight Dig Will Be Released Next Year, New Scrap Knight Character Revealed

Yacht Club Games announces Shovel Knight Dig for release in 2022. 

As a fresh take on the popular Shovel Knight character, Dig was first announced in August 2019. While it retains the Shovel Knight look that millions of people have grown to love, Dig offers a new style of gameplay with a 2D platformer aesthetic. 

Yacht Club did not announce a date for Dig’s release, but they clearly had 2021 in mind when they said today Dig would be out next year. 

“With 2021 coming to a close, we wanted to provide an update regarding Shovel Knight Dig,” a blog post from Yacht Club reads. “Development is going great, but we need a little more time than our initial projected release window. We look forward to delving into Dig with you in 2022.” 

To ease the pain of today’s news, though, Yacht Club also revealed a new character in Dig: Scrap Knight. 

“Picker in hand, Scrap Knight sorts worthy valuables for sale and keeps the truly special stuff slung over her shoulder in an enormous bag,” the blog post reads. “She has spent her recent days sifting through the shifting refuse pile known as the Magic Landfill, a sorcerer’s rubbish heap located deep below earth’s surface. Scrap Knight is a valuable resource for the Hexcavators as she has the ability to recover almost anything. However, Scrap Knight also has her ideas. Make haste when digging through her mystical junk yard, danger lurks in the clutter.” 

Scrap Knight, a new dungeon adventure video game, will be appearing in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. Eagle-eyed gamers may already know her.
