Shovel Knight launched to rave reviews back in 2014 and perfected the 2D platforming formula and also proved to be a success on the sales front. In a recent interview, the team says that they still wish to pursue a Shovel Knight 64. A 3D platformer that resembles those of days gone by with the talented team’s unique twist to the genre.
I think one of the things we want to work on in the far future is definitely like a Shovel Knight 64, a 3D platformer. We would all love that. We all love Mario 64 to pieces and would just love to be able to jump into that.
I’d encourage that. Trying something different can be good. Might open up Shovel Knight to new avenues of creativity.
Notice he says far future lol
I know, it pains me to read that
I still need to play shovel knight.
Yes, do yourself the everlasting favor. This may be favorite game of all time. I find myself choosing to play it over my backlog time and again. It’s on sale on Steam if you’d like a discount, but the Switch version is the best, hands down. For portable co-op, handheld, and amiibo too, but that game is too good. Ramble done.
I held off for the longest time and finally gave in with the Switch version. I both regret holding off for so long and am glad that I got it for the Switch. Well worth the asking price with more to come once the King Knight campaign is ready.
Absolutely! I mean, the game keeps getting more and more worth it, not to mention the battle mode forthcoming. Yacht Club is the model of what a game development company should be, in my opinion. Do you think King Knight’s campaign will tie up Soecter Knight at all? I hope so, like give him peace or whatnot.
That’d be great. Wouldn’t mind a 16-bit styled shovel knight as well. If they do 8-bit again though, I’ll probably skip it.
I also think they should do a 16 and follow the bit evolution before they hit 64.
Then it can feel like a real franchise, and not a retro-pandering indie game.
It feels a lot more real than many franchises I’ve seen with the titles they’ve produced so far, I don’t know if that’s how I would feel. Curious; how much have you played it? I don’t feel I the panders at all, maybe the gender swap is pandering?
I am very intruiged by that. I like the original Shovel Knight quite a bit, but I’m getting quite sick of 2D platformers, so this looks like an idea with plenty of potential. I hope they can make it work.

I love Shovel Knight, so naturally I love this idea.
I love Shovel Knight 64. It’s my favorite game.
Anyway I want to see a Shovel Knight adventure in 3D.
To be honest, I was hoping they would do SUPER Shovel Knight first.
I’m sure anything they do, they will pour their heart and soul into, so I’m willing to go where they lead.
||Barely one year ago they weren’t interested in doing any 3D weapons at all…||
It’s a challenger game. Everyone must buy. It’s cheap and very beatiful.
I played when I was in Sodosopa with my best friends.
