Tldr, work is ongoing on two new free campaigns. Spectre knight is first in line. No ETA on release date.
Also, physical vita release!

Personally, a Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario RPG or Solstice/Equinox would be my top choices that I feel they could deliver a quality game on.

Holy shit.
I utterly adore Shovel Knight's world, design, and aesthetic.
But I cut my teeth on the 2-D Rayman platformers and not the Megamans, so I cannot play these wonderful games for shit.
I am pretty shit at Shovel Knight, but Plague Knight I felt was much easier once I got into it and managed to plow through it pretty fast. It became a bit of an exercise in determining which of his various widgets I had to adjust to succeed. Science!

2. Specter knight can climb certain walls (in the intro sage, it was dirt walls, while grassy ones were unclimbable). He can only climb up about two tiles before dropping again, but he can wall jump while climbing.
3. Specter knight destroys breakable platforms by jumping, rather than attacking. This is likely going to make certain segments of the game VERY tricky.
4. Black Knight has a turtle friend called Terrorpin, but everyone who plays it has told Yacht Club that it looks like a rhino, so I suggest calling it such.
5. While I didn't play Polar Kngiht's stage, it seemed to incorporate a rail-grinding mechanic from what I saw.

I think they meant Specter of Torment, because yeah, Plague of Shadows has been out for awhile
Yeah, my bad. I'll edit it to remove confusion. :X

Anyways, the campaign took me 8 hours and 7 minutes, and I died 84 times. I feel like I died more than that. I don't believe any enemy managed to kill me, it was 100% pits and spikes... unless you count enemies knocking me into said pits and spikes. That is some hard ass platforming. Though even with the crazy way Plague gets around due to his bomb-bursting move set, I never got pissed off at the game. The deaths felt fair, and it was on me to do better. Three bosses managed to take me out though; Specter Knight, Propeller Knight, and the final boss. My biggest problem was constantly forgetting to use bombs I can lob up into the air to damage these guys. Instead I bomb jumped up to damn near the top of the screen and hurled bombs downward... not realizing how much easier it would have been to use different bombs until afterwards. Feel like a dope!
Can't wait for Specter of Darkness!
YCG provides a wonderful breakdown of sales and impact. Also Treasure Trove is 20% for a week to celebrate! King of Cards (the final free DLC) should be rolling out soon enough as well.

I'm very happy for all the success Shovel Knight has enjoyed. Very interested to see where Yacht Club goes once King of Cards is live.

Almost any other dev team and any other game, such a statement and action would be near career suicide.
Truly a testament as to what you can do when you build up enough goodwill, and also treat your base with respect.

American politics isn't 4D chess, it's just if you give a shit about other people or not.
At this rate I'm going to grab the Switch version just to assuage my guilt.
But sometimes I pull out my copy of Shovel Knight, not to play the game, but just to read the manual.
Cause, damn, if that thing doesn't take me back to the NES/SNES days of game manuals.

Still the game is so much fun to play it makes it possible to power through the rage of dying from falling in Propeller Knight's holes.
I also have to try a hard mode New Game + Spectre Knight run.
...and maybe I should get the Switch or 3DS version of the game.
I like Shovel Knight quite a bit.
