Yacht Club Games Presents 26 02 2020 Roundup
Posted 26 Feb 2020 at 17:15 by Sam C Gittins
Once again, the latest Yacht Club Games Presents video provided plenty of new information for the developers upcoming games, probably most important was the release date window of Autumn 2020 for their upcoming Ninja-based platformer titled Cyber Shadow; which looks like it's shaping up rather nicely indeed plus we also learned that Shovel Knight Dig won't surface until 2021 which seems more than reasonable considering it was only announced late last year in the previous presentation.
For everything else, check out the press release information and some trailers below along to a link to the original presentation...
LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 26, 2020 - Yacht Club Games announced today via its Presents video a brand new Shovel Knight game - Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. developed by VINE and Yacht Club Games, is a brand new action-packed puzzle adventure mashup. The team has also released a new story trailer for Cyber Shadow, which has been confirmed to come out this fall on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Shovel Knight Dig also got some news with a reveal of the latest member of the Hexcavators- Hive Knight!
Cyber Shadow by Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker is coming this fall on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam. The game will be released as part of Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC.
In Cyber Shadow, the world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity.
SHOVEL KNIGHT POCKET DUNGEON Delve with Shovel Knight into the depths of the Pocket Dungeon on an action-packed puzzle adventure mashup like none other! Join your mysterious guide Puzzle Knight as you shovel through scads of foes, procure new equipment, and battle bosses both familiar and new. Explore a tale with endless twists and turns, quest as your favorite heroes, and even challenge a friend for fast-paced head-to-head competition in Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon!
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is the third title made in collaboration with an external game development team, after Cyber Shadow and Shovel Knight Dig. “Working with Yacht Club has helped us to leverage resources we wouldn’t have access to otherwise, and helped get the game in front of more people. It’s fun to add to the mythos of Shovel Knight, too.”, says Russell Rafferty, developer behind VINE and creator of Pocket Dungeon.
At Yacht Club Games, the team is glad to be able to shine the spotlight on up-and-coming developers. “By working together with great devs on new Shovel Knight games, we get many different creative perspectives and cool new designs that push the boundaries of the Shovel Knight Universe! It’s been thrilling to see Pocket Dungeon progress, and we can’t wait to see where Shovel Knight goes next.” says Sean Velasco, designer at Yacht Club Games.

What did you think of the presentation? Are you even more excited for the release of Cyber Shadow following that new trailer? Or are you more interested in the new Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon? (we must say that combining a Roguelike with a Puzzle game all wrapped up in a Shovel Knight theme is something we didn't know that we wanted here at N-Europe but we're certainly glad of its announcement)
