Shovel Knight Dig, which was announced in 2019 but fell off the radar for a while, has finally received a release date. Yacht Club Games and Nitrome's rogue-lite is getting ready to launch on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Apple Arcade next month.

The funny trailer tells the story of a bored man who is encouraged to go treasure hunting in his garden. There, he will discover a mysterious chest containing Shovel Knight Dig.

''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!'', the game description reads.

''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!''

A PlayStation 4 version had been announced, but subtly disappeared from the lineup. Gematsu asked the studio about this, asking for clarification, to which they replied: “Our current platform lineup for Shovel Knight Dig‘s release is Nintendo Switch, Apple Arcade, and Steam! If we ever expand our platform roster, we’ll be sure to make a whole lot of noise about it!”
