Steel thy shovel
Just in case you were somehow still on the fence, Shovel Knight will be joining the roster of Nicalis’ crossover fighter Blade Strangers. We’re still only a few days off of the announcement of Gunvolt, Quote, and Isaac yet Nicalis keeps surprising me.

This brings the current roster up to a healthy fourteen:
- Shovel Knight
- Isaac (The Binding of Isaac)
- Gunvolt(Azure Striker Gunvolt)
- Quote(Cave Story+)
- Curly Brace (Cave Story+)
- Solange (Code of Princess EX)
- Ali (Code of Princess EX)
- Liongate(Code of Princess EX)
- Master T (Code of Princess EX)
- Kawase (Umihara Kawaseseries)
- Noko (Umihara Kawaseseries)
- Emiko (Umihara Kawaseseries)
- Lina (all-new character)
- Helen (all-new character)
It’s sure to feel bittersweet launching poor Emiko up into the air with a shovel, but I’m looking forward to the experience.Blade Strangersis coming to PS4, Switch, and PC this summer.
