Some of the stretch goals for the successful campaign included campaigns designed around bosses of donors’ choosing.

Yacht Club Games is still toiling away at Shovel Knight’s heaping helping of post-launch content, and after giving us a quick glimpse at the King Knight campaign a few weeks ago, the developer has returned with an extended profile of Specter Knight’s upcoming adventure. Specter Knight will be released first! “How levels change between the two characters, how much time is needed for new mechanics/systems, stories interweaving, and so on”.
Each campaign will follow a different character. We even get to see gifs of Specter Knight’s move set, which includes an aerial dash attack and the ability to wall jump. The developers also shed some light on how Specter Knight’s campaign is coming along.
Just like Plague of Shadows releasing with Challenge Mode, we’re planning to release one of these new modes alongside each campaign. You thought wrong! Today, Yacht Club Games announced that a brand new campaign with Specter Knight is in the works.
Yacht Club Games has become a driving force in the industry very quickly. Battle Mode will be a single-screen, local multiplayer mode.

Release dates for all of this weren’t shared, but Yacht Club says it “should arrive sooner than the wait between Shovel Knight and Plague Knight”. The other mode will then be released with the King Knight campaign later. The physical Vita version of Shovel Knight is now available for pre-order ahead of a planned October release. For disc/cart and digital versions! To put that in perspective, Plague of Shadows was released last September, 14 months after Shovel Knight.
