SHOVEL KNIGHT RETURNS IN YOOKA-REPLAYLEE
Burton-on-Trent, UK - 28 January 2025. The year of the lizard and the bat is here! Kicking off the 10th anniversary year of Playtonic, we sent a pager to our friends over at Yacht Club Games saying that their shovel-wielding hero has taken the wrong exit at the roundabout (or rotary) and ended up in our game again. We were told we can keep him for a while, so excited to share that Shovel Knight will make his courageous return in Yooka-Replaylee.
In addition to a shiny coat of paint, the wielder of the shovel blade also comes with a new and improved quest for you to undertake for one of those shiny Pagies.
Playtonic officially turns 10 years old in February and to celebrate we have something very exciting to share with you very soon. He been waiting for his turn.
