Shovel Knight and Shantae will be joining the character roster in Blaster Master Zero as playable DLC just like Gunvolt and Ekoro. For a limited time only, players will be able to download these two indie legends for free, two weeks after they’ve released. Once the free download period ends, Shovel Knight and Shantae will be available for purchase for $1.99.

Both characters will feature their own unique abilities from their own respective games.

Version 1.3 of Blaster Master Zero and Shantae’s DLC will be available for download on July 6th, and Shovel Knight will be available on August 3rd.
