Alright, let’s get messy with it:
—
So, hey shovel peeps! Big news. Real big. Like holding-your-breath kind of big. Shovel Knight Dig – yeah, you heard it right – is finally landing on Xbox Series X|S. On May 15th, mark it, because this version? It’s got all the bells and whistles. We’ve been tinkering, polishing, you name it. I’m pumped just thinking about it. Got your shovel blade ready? Good. You’ll need it ‘cause this time, you’re heading…down. Yep, it’s a whole new direction. Literally.
Oh, right. Let me not get sidetracked. This isn’t just any adventure. Shovel Knight Dig is like Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, but here’s the twist: it’s a prequel. Picture this – you’re chilling at your campsite, just you and your thoughts. Then bam! Drill Knight and his gang come thundering in like they own the place. They loot and destroy everything. Obviously, our Shovel Knight isn’t having any of that. So, what’s he do? Digs after them. Naturally. The whole land could collapse. No biggie.
Now, at its core – this game’s like, how do I put it, a roguelite platformer? I hope that makes sense. Every level, every chunk is like a new puzzle piece, stitched together all crazy-like. Thousands of them. So every dive into the well? It’s different. There’s this thrill – you’re on the edge trying to uncover whatever secrets are buried at the bottom. Speaking of which, here’s some hot tips to not bite the dust:
Momentum. Think of it like… what’s that saying, fools rush in? Yeah, apply that here. This well—filled with all sorts of chaos. Baddies, hazards, you name it. Take a breath (or two) before you leap. And, side note, if something seems dodgy, just don’t, okay? Detours aren’t always bad. Then again, count on your gear and upgrades – seriously. They can make or break your run. Get a feel for it. It might seem like a mystery at first, but trust me, you’ll get the hang of it.
And gems! Oh man, grab those sparkly things whenever you can. They’re like gold nuggets because you can trade them for food, or skills, or stuff from Master Argus ‘n Chester. Sneaky tip: collect three golden gear pieces. You get a choice – a free upgrade or health. Decisions, decisions. Side rooms, too, they’ve got surprises. Health boosts, challenges – it’s like a treasure trove. Eyes open, dig deep. Feels like you’re the king, or maybe shovel-god by the bottom.
Oh, and don’t forget to pop up between dives. Visit Hoofman, Armorer, Chester – they’ve got tricks up their sleeves too. And as the story rolls, new folks show up at your camp. Chat ’em up. They spill secrets sometimes, and the nosy in me says listen.
If something’s fishy, dig into it. Explore sparkly dirt, hatch some eggs, push Altius (the owl, if you were wondering) into the well. All that stuff. Unveiling secrets is half the fun!
We’ve poured every ounce into making this project. Like, labor-of-love level. Can’t wait for you to jump in Friday. Seriously, see you at the bottom.
Until then,
