Shovel Knight Specter of Torment Announced at The Game Awards

During The Game Awards 2016, Yacht Club Games officially announced a new Shovel Knight game, Specter of Torment. It’s a prequel but still features its 2D side-scroller gameplay. It’s scheduled for release in Spring 2017.

Players will not only play through Specter Knight’s own story, but also see new areas, new music, new enemies, new objects, new boss fights, new weapons, new armors, and way more than ever before. Even the villainous boss knights have prepared new tricks and tactics.

“The original Shovel Knight was funded on Kickstarter, having raised $310,000 in 2013 to make the game a reality. One of the most acclaimed games of 2014, Shovel Knight is available for consoles and PC, though no mention of platforms for the prequel was provided.

“You’ll not only play through Specter Knight’ own story, but also see new areas, new music, new enemies, new objects, new boss fights, new weapons, new armors, and way, way more than ever before. Even the villainous boss knights have prepared new tricks and tactics!”
