Update (9/5): Best Buy has now opened pre-orders here.

Original (9/4): GameStop has added in an online listing for the brand new gold Shovel Knight amiibo. Thanks to that, we finally have a look at the figure. See the first image of it above.

Rumblings of a new gold Shovel Knight amiibo date back to last year. However, Yacht Club Games has yet to say anything about such a figure, and it seemed unlikely to happen at this point. Yet within the past couple of days, fans have noticed that the mystery amiibo has been available to pre-order at GameStop.

The gold Shovel Knight amiibo actually isn’t present on GameStop’s website (at least currently). Having said that, there are numerous reports of consumers being able to reserve it in store. It is officially listed as “Gold Shovel Knight for Switch” and costs $15.99.

There’s still no word on when it could release, and Yacht Club Games still hasn’t made an official announcement. We know that the Shovel Knight series has a new 3-pack dropping in December, but the only news we’ve had about this particular amiibo comes from retailers. Hopefully we’ll have a better understanding about what’s planned soon.

It’s tough to believe, but Shovel Knight’s journey is almost at its end. After the original game’s debut way back in 2014, Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown will finally be wrapping things up later this year. While we’ll have to wait a bit longer than expected since a delay was announced a couple of months ago, the last bit of Shovel Knight content should be wrapped up very soon.

We recently spoke with Yacht Club Games pixel artist and animator Sandy Gordon about Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Showdown, along with a bunch of other things. Gordon commented on how the two titles have changed since we’ve first heard about them, what to expect from Showdown’s story mode, and more. Other topics include a special “Dumb Ideas” document Yacht Club Games has, Switch sales, what lies ahead for the future, and we even tried to ask about Shovel Knight’s appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – with limited success.
