Three New Shovel Knight Amiibo Figures Are on the Way

Obsessive amiibo collectors will have three more figures to snag very soon. The creation of the original Shovel Knight amiibo was a surprise, as the honor is generally reserved for Nintendo characters, and the occasional third-party Smash Bros. fighter—now, Yacht Club Games has announced that a three-pack of more Shovel Knight amiibos is coming soon.

The additions to the line are Plague Knight, Specter Knight and King Knight, all providing “new ways” to play Shovel Knight for Nintendo platforms. Specifically, the developer mentions that each of the figures will provide a new cosmetic armor set, and the amiibos will introduce new “Challenge Stages” for players. Additionally, the amiibos will allow players to have Fairy companions join them in-game, though it appears that these fairies have no function in gameplay.
