To start out its presentation, Yacht Club Games showed off the final release trailer for Shovel Knight: King of Cards. After two years of in the making, the game is now finally complete and is apparently bigger than any of the previous games the developer has previously worked on.

So, when is it going to be released? It's "coming soon" and is expected to show up at some point in December alongside Shovel Knight Showdown. Existing owners of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove will receive it as a free update and it will also be sold seperately as a standalone game.

Here's what Yacht Club has to say about it:

King of Cards marks our grandest adventure yet, and we hope the trailer whets your appetite for the banquet of adventure which awaits! It has more levels, mechanics, secrets, and content than any Shovel Knight game to come before it. It’s a spectacle, crammed to the coffers with ideas- it’s the biggest game we’ve ever made, and we can’t wait for everyone to finally, finally play it. We’ve used everything we’ve learned in the past to make this game shine. We hope that you’ll find it both a delightful return and a fitting sendoff to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove.
