addedThis free DLC is packed with even more adventure, including a brand new challenging quest called Knightmare Mode, sweet mementos to unlock and show off in the HUB, and tons of quality of life improvements to make your journey even smoother. We can't wait for you to dive back into Shovel Knight's epic journey and experience this expansive and FREE addition to the game.
addedThis mode is intended as a special challenge to players! Each Knightmare stage will augment your run into an even harder version of itself with options like “Unending Endurance" (where the well expands, making each stage longer) or "Robust Rogues” (bosses now have 50% more HP). Each challenge stacks, so make sure to hone your digging skills before progressing! Knightmare mode will track your progress and show the furthest you've gone. Each trip down the well will bring you closer to discovering the secrets lying at the bottom.

addedFETCHER Yip! Yip! Ya’ found a new character in the well! At the end of each stage, Fetcher will be waiting down in the well to do what he does best….fetch! For a measly 625 Bones (errrr, Gems)...he’ll give players a chance to exit the well mid-run to save their gold and return to the HUB.
addedNEW MUSIC TRACK Music maestro, Jake Kaufman, whipped up another banger for Shovel Knight Dig’s soundtrack! This track can be heard echoing in the Mushroom Mines…give it a listen!
