Wii U’s final game, too!
Yacht Club Games has announced that one final game will be coming toShovel Knight: Treasure Trove. DubbedShowdown, the game is a competitive multiplayer brawler that lets players pick their favorite characters fromShovel Knightand smack each other around. Better still, it will be free to owners ofTreasure Trove.
Taking inspiration from theSmash Bros.series, it looks like a real hoot. In addition to four-player battles, there is also a story mode set to appear. The game will be limited to local multiplayer only but is coming to the PC and console versions ofShovel Knight. The Vita and 3DS ports will not be getting multiplayer love for technological reasons.
If you aren’t big onShovel Knight, but really want some multiplayer mayhem,Showdownwill be available as a standalone game at release. No details on standalone pricing were given, but the game appears to be much more than a throwaway extra. With eight characters already revealed and more to likely appear, this could end up being the standout game of the entireShovel Knightseries.
