Yacht Club Games’ Nick Wozniak has commented on the possibility of future Shovel Knight games.

Making a new entry – as said by the studio before – is something that the team would “love to do”. Yacht Club could explore more titles based on the 8-bit theme, though a new entry with a 16-bit style “or even a Shovel Knight 64” are also possible.

Wozniak told Red Bull:

“We don’t have any plans set in stone but we would absolutely love to do another Shovel Knight. It would make a lot of sense to do one or two more in the 8-bit style, but we would also love to do a Super Shovel Knight done in a 16-bit style. Or even a Shovel Knight 64!”

Tappingo 2 will include over 100 new puzzles and new elements such as a zoom mode for larger puzzles. Goodbye Galaxy Games has been monitoring player feedback for the first game and will in turn improve “many things”.

Tappingo 2 will launch this summer. Additional details, screenshots, and videos will be released in the coming weeks.
