Yacht Club Games, the first project from the new studio formed by former WayForward staffers, is known as “Shovel Knight”. The company launched a Kickstarter tonight that can be accessed here.
As described by Yacht Club, gamers can expect the following from Shovel Knight:
“Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action adventure game with awesome gameplay, memorable characters, and an 8-bit retro aesthetic. It’s a hot mashup of new and old that may remind you of Mega Man, Castlevania, or Dark Souls! You play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a huge quest. Shovel Knight has come to this valley with two goals: to defeat the evil Enchantress and save his lost beloved. He wields a ShovelBlade: a multipurpose weapon whose techniques have now been lost to the ages. Always honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly!”
Shovel Knight is a PC-only game for now. But Yacht Club’s Sean Velasco hinted to IGN that we could see the title on a Nintendo platform one day. Velasco told the site: “Our Nintendo love is definitely strong.” It’d be lovely if Shovel Knight eventually landed on the 3DS and/or Wii U, wouldn’t it?!
