However, if you have been waiting for the whole saga to come out in a single set, Yacht Club Games will be releasing a physical edition with all the expansions.
Shovel Knight is an 8-bit-style game that has had a long story since its release in June 2014. The story continued with numerous expansions that came out in the years that followed its initial release to its Tower of Fate expansion.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards was first announced in 2017 for its release as its fourth and final campaign in the series, a prequel to the story starring King Knight in his quest to become the King.
The second announced DLC; Shovel Knight Showdown will be completely different. It is a multiplayer fighting game that allows players to compete locally by choosing characters as different knights. You can buy Showdown on its own as it includes a Story Mode filled with minigames and homages to the previous games in this series of Shovel Knight.
Shovel Knight’s complete set called Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove will be priced at $39.99. Shovel Knight: King of Cards will be available for all platforms that it currently runs on. Namely Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac Nintendo Switch, Wii U. Meanwhile, Shovel Knight showdown will launch only on PC and consoles like Playstation 4 and Wii U.
