Yacht Club Games announced at 2016 The Game Awards that they have been working on some new content for the hit game, Shovel Knight. Well, over the weekend, the developers tweeted out announcing that the game is finally completed.
The Specter of Torment is the newest piece of add-on content for Shovel Knight. While Plague of Shadows followed an alternate parallel campaign, Specter Knight travels a new path in this amazing prequel. It’s your mission as Specter Knight to recruit the Order of No Quarter for The Enchantress! Specter Knight’s campaign truly is his own adventure, and we can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it this Spring.
