Yacht Club Games has announced the release date for its Shovel Knight expansion Plague of Shadows - you’ll be able to hop into the disease-spreading bad guy’s shoes on September 17.
Despite the fact that it adds a brand new playable character with his own entirely unique play-style, a new adventure mode and several Challenge levels, the update is entirely free. Not a bad deal.
You do have to complete the main game to unlock Plague Knight, so get on that if you’re yet to do so. Oh wait; ”There may be a way to unlock Plague of Shadows without finishing the Shovel Knight campaign…,” teases Yacht Club. You can check out a starter guide to the new guy’s moveset and abilties here.
