Super Rare Games has announced that they are heading underground with Nitrome and Yacht Club Games to bring you the physical edition of Shovel Knight Dig on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.

When Drill Knight and his dastardly digging crew blast apart Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his loot, he grabs his trusty Shovel Blade and starts tunneling after them. You will meet new friends and foes, visit strange lands, and outfit yourself in your quest to keep the entire land from collapsing underfoot. Jump, slash, and dig your way down an ever-changing chasm of mystery in Shovel Knight Dig, an all-new Shovel Knight adventure.
