All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam


Summon Thy Scythe! The next adventure in the Shovel Knight saga is here!

Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is a free update to Shovel Knight! Along with this update Shovel Knight is now Shovel Knight:Treasure Trove!

What's Specter of Torment? It's the action-packed prequel to Shovel Knight! With his scythe and preternatural agility at the ready, he can glide across the ground, clamber up walls, and command an arsenal of curious weapons.

If he carries out his duties to the Enchantress, Specter Knight may have a chance at regaining his lost humanity and breaking his chains of servitude. But what cruel tricks might the Enchantress have up her sleeve?
