Yacht Club Games, the studio behind the beloved Shovel Knight series, celebrates ten years of success! The journey began with the release of the original game in 2014, and the studio expresses heartfelt thanks to the fans who've made it all possible.
Shovel Knight, a retro-inspired action-platformer, captivated gamers with its charming 8-bit visuals, precise controls, and challenging gameplay reminiscent of classic NES titles. The original Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope saw the titular knight embark on a quest to rescue Shield Knight, battling hordes of enemies and formidable bosses. This initial success, a tribute to classic gaming, unexpectedly resonated globally and became the bedrock of Yacht Club Games.
In a recent announcement, Yacht Club Games shared its gratitude for the past decade, describing the journey as "surreal." The studio assures fans that more Shovel Knight adventures are on the horizon, promising continued dedication to quality game development. They extend a warm welcome to new players and express their commitment to many more years of creating games.
