Ahead of PAX West 2022, Yacht Club Games revealed that they will be releasing Shovel Knight Dig for PC and consoles on September 23rd. This one has been teased for a while now and seemed like we might not see it for a year or two, kind of how King of Cards turned out. Which is fine; we'd rather have a functional game than something rushed and full of bugs. But it looks like the team was just keeping things quiet until they knew it was good to go. You can check out the latest trailer for it below, as a demo will be playable on the PAX floor this weekend.
