The Switch Direct hasn't aired yet and already confirmed news is coming out.
Yacht Club Games has announced that Shovel Knight is coming to Nintendo's new console and handheld hybrid, Switch.
In addition to the main game heading to the new platform, Yacht Club confirmed that upcoming new campaign Specter of Torment will also be headed to Switch as well.
Yacht Club is now referring to Shovel Knight collection as Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, an all-inclusive title for the overall game. Anyone who currently owns Shovel Knight will now automatically own Treasure Trove, which will receive upcoming campaigns and updates for free.
But in 2017 there is more shovel goodness to come!
Yacht Club also plans to release yet another campaign, this time focusing on King Knight. A four-player Battle Mode is also on the way, for all platforms other than handheld devices (since it offers local multiplayer only).
At the same time as Specter of Torment, Yacht Club will also release Body Swap mode, which allows you to switch the gender of Shovel Knight or Shield Knight which previously required amiibo support to do this.
