Greetings Shovel-heads! 

WOWZA, can you believe it’s already been 8 months since Shovel Knight Dig released on Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Apple Arcade? This game was a true labor of love and an absolute blast to develop. So, we really hope you’ve had just as much fun playing it as we did making it. Now, with that said, we’ve got something extra special for you today….drumroll please….

OUR FATE AND FORTUNE FREE DLC PACK IS OUT NOW ON NINTENDO SWITCH, STEAM, AND APPLE ARCADE!

This free DLC is packed with even more adventure, including a brand new challenging quest called Knightmare Mode, sweet mementos to unlock and show off in the HUB, and tons of quality of life improvements to make your journey even smoother. We can't wait for you to dive back into Shovel Knight's epic journey and experience this expansive and FREE addition to the game.

Note: The DLC content/updates will launch on console at a later date, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop once it’s on the way!

Knightmare Mode:

WHAT? BLACK KNIGHT IS IN DIG?!?! 

Something truly evil must be brewing down in the well! It’s up to Shovel Knight & Black Knight to uncover the true Knightmare and put a stop to it!

Note: Knightmare Mode will become available to players after they complete the base game. 

This mode is intended as a special challenge to players! Each Knightmare stage will augment your run into an even harder version of itself with options like “Unending Endurance" (where the well expands, making each stage longer) or "Robust Rogues” (bosses now have 50% more HP). Each challenge stacks, so make sure to hone your digging skills before progressing! Knightmare mode will track your progress and show the furthest you've gone. Each trip down the well will bring you closer to discovering the secrets lying at the bottom.

But that’s not all…..

MEET YOUR NEW BEST BUD!

Fetcher

Yip! Yip! Ya’ found a new character in the well! At the end of each stage, Fetcher will be waiting down in the well to do what he does best….fetch! For a measly 625 Bones (errrr, Gems)...he’ll give players a chance to exit the well mid-run to save their gold and return to the HUB.

IT’S TIME TO SHOW OFF
