New Shovel Knight amiibo are on the way! After the announcement of Shovel Knight: King of Cards during the Nindies Summer 2017 Showcase , Yacht Club Games revealed the new amiibo at Nintendo’s Nindies@Night event at Pax West.
The three new amiibo will bring Plague Knight, Specter Knight and King Knight to collectors in a special three-pack. Yacht Club Games did not confirm a release date for the amiibo but we can presume that it will be close to the release of Shovel Knight: King of Cards, which has a tentative early 2018 launch.
Yacht Club Games and the Game Grumps also released a new Shovel Knight amiibo trailer that is just as silly and amazing as the trailer they made when the original Shovel Knight amiibo was released. Check it out below.
If you want the latest information on Shovel Knight: King of Cards, here’s the synopsis of the story and some of the new features -- including what the amiibo do -- straight from Nintendo, below.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards is the last campaign in the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove saga and is sure to become the crown jewel of the series. Players shoulder bash, spin jump and swing their scepter as King Knight to greedily conquer bite-sized levels over four new worlds. In between stages, players demonstrate their strategic genius by competing against other knights in a new card game. By tapping three new amiibo figures* based on King Knight, Plague Knight and Specter Knight while playing Shovel Knight, players can unlock exclusive armor sets, new challenge stages and the ability to summon fairy companions to accompany players on quests. Shovel Knight: King of Cards launches on Nintendo Switch in early 2018. The launch date for the new amiibo will be announced in the future.
