Shovel Knight coming to Switch in 2017

While we're only two days away from finding out more details about the Nintendo Switch, its known software library has just grown by one as Yacht Club Games has announced that Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove will be releasing on the Switch later this year.

Fans of the franchise wondering what Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is will be pleased to here it is merely the game re-branded, but includes all the subsequent releases.  If you pick up Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove you will get Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope (the new name for the original game), Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows and Shovel Knight: Spectre of Torment all in one.

Anyone that owns Shovel Knight will get the content included within Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove for free, but be warned the price is going up in spring (no date specified).  The individual games can also be picked up separately.

Later this year Yacht Club Games will also release Shovel Knight: King Knight's Campaign and Shovel Knight: Battle Mode (a duel with up to 4-players, not compatible with 3DS/Vita).

As well as re-branding and new games, Shovel Knight will also be updated to provide two-player support in the campaign mode (excluding 3DS and Vita) and a Body Swap Mode which changes the characters you play with.

There is no word yet on when the Switch version will launch, but we'll keep you updated.  With any luck we might find out on Friday.
