Celebrate 10 years of the chivalrous adventurer, Shovel Knight!

Bold, kind-hearted, and… encased in blue armor? It must be Shovel Knight!

When the land cries out for a champion, you can bet your buttons… er… helmet that this small warrior will take on any huge quest. Armed with his trusty Shovel Blade, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly.

To celebrate 10 years of the bright Knight, we’ve dug up a little message for our readers from the developers!

A message from Yacht Club Games

Looking back over the past decade feels surreal. It's been 10 incredible years since the inception of our studio and our favorite blue burrower, Shovel Knight. Little did we realize that our love letter to classic games, Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, would not only resonate with players worldwide but also serve as the cornerstone for our studio. But our journey didn't stop there. Rest assured, there’s even more Shovel Knight on the horizon! So, stay tuned.

Thank you for sharing this incredible adventure with us over the past decade, and to those just joining, welcome aboard! As time has passed, we've all grown a bit older, but our commitment to you remains as strong as ever. We've spent the past ten years working tirelessly to bring you the best games we can, and with your continued support, we hope to keep going for a thousand more!

Sincerely,

Yacht Club Games
