Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove getting big price bump tomorrow, so maybe grab it quick

If for some reason (forgetfulness, inexplicable dislike of excellent retro platformers) you've still yet to snag Shovel Knight's Treasure Trove edition, developer Yacht Club Games has warned that it's getting a significant price bump tomorrow, 10th December.

At present, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove costs around £18.99/$24.99 USD (with prices fluctuating depending on platform), which already offers some top-tier value. Currently, it includes the original Shovel Knight game, Shovel of Hope, plus its two following episodes Plague of Shadows and Spectre of Torment - both of which introduce new protagonists with their own distinct abilities, radically altering the core platforming experience.

As of 10th December, however, Yacht Club Games' long-awaited final two Shovel Knight instalments - King of Cards and Showdown - will be added to the Treasure Trove bundle. The former brings a new protagonist, in the guise of the titular royal, plus the card game Jaustus. Showdown, meanwhile, is a new four-player brawler, making for a bit of a series departure.
