#YachtClubGames have revealed #PlagueofShadows as a free expansion to their award-winning Shovel Knight where players are put in the role of explosive trickster Plague Knight.
Plague Knight, using his maniacal scientific mind, seeking to concoct Serum Supernus, the Ultimate Potion, which he must extract from his former allies. The indie developer promises “an explosive quest” with a new play style, where players will use explosives, bomb jumps and alchemy to blast their way throughout the expansion. Music, storytelling, and art all return in Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows; a new story, new bosses, and more!
In this adventure, you play as Plague Knight, the villainous master of alchemy, in a quest all his own. Using his maniacal scientific mind, Plague Knight is seeking to concoct Serum Supernus, the Ultimate Potion.
Recipes and reagents can be gathered, with Plague of Shadows sporting a new Alchemy System that will allow you to craft equipment and power-ups.
There will be a playable demo of Plague Knight’s campaign at PAX East where you can find the crew at booth #6224.
