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!”

Brainseed Factory already has ideas for another Typoman, which could be a sequel or possibly even a prequel. The studio is also working on “a totally new game concept”.

Brainseed Factory founder and CEO Bilal Chbib told Nintendo Life:

“We’re already working on a totally new game concept, but we also have a couple of ideas for a Typoman sequel (or maybe prequel?) as well. As you stated, it largely depends on the success.”

Before we see anything else from Brainseed, the company will first need to wrap up Typoman. The game is scheduled to launch sometime during the third quarter of this year.
