Yacht Club Games’ first foray into the world of physical publishing brings us physical copies of Shovel Knight. You asked for it, and they delivered. The popular knight has gained much popularity in the year since its release, even popping up in other games, so it was really only a matter of time.
The physical version of Shovel Knight will include everything that has been released so far. Buyers will get the original campaign, its first content update, Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows, and a full-featured Challenge mode. They’re also throwing in an instruction booklet; these will be like the ones included in the Kickstarter rewards, not some dinky insert.
