Four Essential Tips for Starting Shovel Knight Dig Today

Hey, shovel fans or knights? Whatever. Big news! Shovel Knight Dig is crashing into Xbox Series X|S on May 15th. And yeah, it’s shiny and refined. We sweated over this one, made it top-notch. Anyway, get that shovel ready—you’re digging down. Like, literally.

So, this thing’s a prequel. Remember Shovel of Hope? Yeah, this is before all that jazz. Drill Knight just had to ruin Shovel Knight’s day—trashed his camp and whatnot. So, what does our spade-loving hero do? He digs. Because that’s what knights with shovels do, obviously.

Okay, picture it. Roguelite vibes with chunky pixel levels you could swim in. They mix and match, stitch together like that homemade quilt your grandma once tried to pawn off on you. You dive into this chaotic mess, maybe find a secret or two at the bottom. Tips? Sure, I’ve got a few.

Momentum or madness? Tough call. Barrel down but watch your shovel. Dangers lurk and all that. Seriously, hazards everywhere. Detours exist for a reason—use ’em or don’t, I’m not your mom. Remember those paths you choose? Yeah, your gear kinda matters. The more you play, the more your thumbs get a mind of their own. Wild, right?

Grab gems like a magpie on caffeine. Spend ‘em on goodies from oddball vendors. Gastronomole (don’t ask), Master Argus, Chester—they’ll sort you out. Golden gear? Choose wisely, young padawan. Before you know it, you’re a shoveling legend on a downward journey.

Oh, and breaks are cool. Visit Hoofman—don’t know how he got that name. Armorer and Chester got stuff to sell. Villagers? Chat ‘em up. They’ve got stories. Some might even help you dig deeper, in a metaphorical sense.

Notice something weird out there? Dig it. If it glitters, tunnels cry for attention. Altius the owl—give him a nudge. Buy the cog. Or don’t. Shovel your way to who knows where. Countless surprises if you look in the right corners.

Enough rambling! This is our biggest thing yet. Shovel Knight Dig was made with love, sweat, maybe some tears. Hope you have a blast playing. See you in the depths!

Much love,
