Overview
- Brace Yourself Games rolled out Shovel Knight content for both Crypt of the NecroDancer and Rift of the NecroDancer on October 30.
- In Crypt, Shovel Knight is a playable character who moves in eight directions and uses a pogo-style Shovel Drop to bounce across enemies and walls.
- Chaining Shovel Drop hops builds a damage-boosting combo and can dig through floors to open shortcuts, with stronger shovels replacing traditional weapons.
- Rift adds a Shovel Knight music pack featuring five new paid Rhythm Rifts by Jake Kaufman, plus a free “Main Theme” track available to all players.
- Both DLC packs are live on Steam now, while Nintendo Life reports Switch releases are planned for a later date; the base games remain available on Switch and PC, with Crypt also on PlayStation and Xbox.
