Yacht Club Games published a new trailer for Shovel Knight’s free DLC expansion, Plague of Shadows. You can view it below.

In other news, Yacht Club Games confirmed that Plague of Shadows wrapped up development earlier this week. Fans can expect a release date “very, very soon”.

“We’re happy to share that, as of August 5th, Plague of Shadows has completed development! Now the game is in the “submission phase” where we coordinate with everyone to make sure it arrives on your system without a hitch. This can be a mystifying step, since we need to coordinate with a lot of teams beyond just our own. Once we hear word back, we’ll be able to share a true final release date. But expect it very, very soon! In the meantime, get ready for updates in the near future detailing the new campaign!”

SteamWorld Heist will come with a few different difficulty levels. Based on comments from Brjann Sigurgeirsson, it sounds like there will be five in total, ranging from “Easy” to “Impossible”.

When cranking up the difficulty, players will encounter more enemies. There are also plans to implement more intelligent enemies. Sigurgeirsson believes that just “a few people on the planet” will be able to finish SteamWorld Heist on its hardest difficulty.

He told Nintendo World Report:

“… in SteamWorld Heist, we have difficulty levels so you can play Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite and Impossible… that’s the name of the difficulty levels today. So that’s the thing – you have to play it well, or you won’t complete it. I think that’s good, you’re supposed to put your soul and body into playing a game. It’s going to be as tough as you want it to be, but the game’s not going to give you anything. You’ll have to take it.

I might be missing a few things here, but there are various aspects that make it more difficult. We can introduce more enemies, but also the terrible notion of having better enemies. Like suddenly their aim is right on target. Like you say, less loot, you have weaker guns… there’ll only be a few people on the planet who can complete the game on the hardest difficulty.”

Did you miss your chance to obtain the Venusaurite in Pokemon Shuffle the first time around? Now you’ve got another chance since the competition has returned. In Europe, the top 20,000 players in the competition will receive an Attack Power Up item, the top 16,000 will receive Venusaurite and the top 1,200 will receive a Mega Speedup on top of that. Ranking below 20,000 nets you a Disruption delay. As per usual, if you already have a Venusaurite, you will receive a Jewel instead if you rank in the top 16,000.

In North America, the thresholds are 30,000 for the Attack Power Up item, 25,000 for the Venusaurite and 2,000 for the Mega Speedup.
