Back in October 2017, it was announced that Dark Horse had teamed up with Nintendo to produce new graphic novels based on the Switch game ARMS. The only update we’ve had since then was in May 2018 when it was stated that the first release was pushed back to January 2019. It’s been radio silence since then. Because of that, many feared that the project was cancelled entirely.

Despite the lack of news, Dark Horse says that the ARMS graphic novels are still planned. The company just shared that little tidbit at Toy Fair 2020. Beyond that though, there’s no word on when we’ll finally see the first comic.

It took a number of years, but Shovel Knight’s lengthy journey ended as 2019 came to a close with King of Cards and Showdown. There’s still plenty going on with the franchise though between 2021’s Shovel Knight Dig and the recently-announced Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. But what about the next core entry in the series?

Fans will be happy to hear that developer Yacht Club Games is thinking about the future. Speaking with DualShockers, artist Sandy Gordon said “this is definitely not the end of Shovel Knight” and that the team has “hope for a lot more Shovel Knight down the road.”

As for Shovel Knight 2 specifically, Gordon noted that Yacht Club is “absolutely” considering a sequel”. He’s also “sure that’ll happen at some point: it’s something we talk about a lot.”
