Dear Reader:
Yacht Club ponders ideas for Shovel Knight 2, but says they're moving on to new things for now
Yacht Club recently held a Reddit AMA with numerous members of their team, and a large number of the questions were about a true Shovel Knight sequel. This is something the team has said they want to do quite a few times now, but they're more interested in moving on to new projects first. With that said, here's what various members of the team had to say about a sequel, including things the team would consider during development.
We'd definitely be interested in making one some day...but right now we're moving onto new things. If we made a sequel, I imagine it'd be a similar scale to Shovel of Hope.
Only that we'd love to do one but after 6 years of Shovel Knight, want to start working on some new things before getting back into that seat.
Should it still be NES style?
Should there be new gameplay? Should Shovel Knight get a new core move like Mega Man 3, or should it be identical like Mega Man 2?
What evil force would create the conflict in the game? What about Enchantress? Is she / the power inside the amulet gone for good?
Should it be 8 all new knights, or should the previous knights return?
Should the original Order be cameos? Will they be missed?
What about Shield Knight? Would she and Shovel travel together in a sequel or how would that work?
