Alright, here we go. I’m diving into this with absolute chaos and just a sprinkle of sense. Bear with me.

Hey, shovelers! Surprise, surprise! Guess what? Shovel Knight Dig is about to make its grand entrance on Xbox Series X|S this May 15th. Crazy, right? We’ve been sweating over this game, refining it and all that, to give you the snazziest version ever. So, yeah, grab your shovels! Not sure why, but digging down just feels right.
Oh, and did I mention? This one’s a prequel—or maybe a sequel? Ugh, let’s just say it comes before Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope. Anyway, our boy gets his camp smashed by Drill Knight and his crew. Absolute chaos. So, off he goes, shovel in hand, to save… well, everything from collapsing. Who knew digging could be this heroic?
Pro tip alert! So this is a roguelite platformer—I think that’s fancy talk for “it’s hard but in a fun way”? Each dive into the well is different, like a breakfast buffet but with more rocks and fewer eggs. You’ll keep unearthing secrets, literally! No idea why this stuck with me, but hey, life at the bottom is sweet if you dodge the hazards and baddies. Just look before you leap, okay? One wrong move, and bam! —you’re a pancake.
While you’re at it, collect stuff. Gems, gears, whatever shines. Gems are currency or something. Meet Gastronomole for food, Master Argus for abilities, and Chester for those weird magic relics. By the time you’re done, you’ll practically be a shovel-wielding deity. No joke.
Oh, and that’s not all. Between runs, chat up random new villagers. They move into your camp like they own the place. Some are nosy, some are nice, and others… well, they just exist. But they all help you unravel mysteries or something. I once tried to dig into something shiny, half expecting treasure, and bam—found an egg! Still haven’t figured out where it fits.
Anyway, the game pushes you to be curious. Dig everywhere. Be the detective of dirt. You might find more than you bargained for. Secrets? Yeah, they’re around every corner. Maybe a smidge of madness too. Anyway—oops, forgot what I was saying.
Bottom line: Shovel Knight Dig is a wild ride. We loved creating it, and we hope you get a kick out of playing. See you on Friday—or not. Who knows, you might already be digging your way to glory.
Catch ya later!
