<p>If you&#8217;re into retro-platformers, then <a href="https://bagogames.com/shovel-knight-interview-ian-flood-sean-velasco-yacht-club-games/">Yacht Club Games</a>&#8216;s <em>Shovel Knight </em>has probably been on your radar. The game&#8217;s found success on just about every platform it&#8217;s come to since its launch last year – such success that it&#8217;s about to get very physical.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, <em>Shovel Knight</em> getting its own physical retail copy, which you can hold in your hands this <strong>October 13th</strong>. The formerly digital-only game will be getting itself its very own case and a &#8220;lavish&#8221; instruction manual, according to a post by Yacht Club Games.</p>
<p><em>Shovel Knight</em>&#8216;s retail version includes the original campaign, the upcoming Plague of Shadows expansion, and a Challenge mode. As with the digital version of the game, all upcoming content updates will be free if you buy the retail version for $19.99.</p>
<p>Yacht Club Games has also teased a still-in-development Battle Mode, where up to four players can, of course, battle as their favorite characters. The studio hopes that it&#8217;ll be done in time to be included on-disc.</p>
<p>The retail edition of <em>Shovel Knight</em> will be coming worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and 3DS. It&#8217;ll further be available for PC in Europe. It&#8217;s currently available digitally for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, PC, and Mac.</p>
<p>We loved <em>Shovel Knight</em> <a href="https://bagogames.com/dig-shovel-knight-review/">on 3DS</a> and <a href="https://bagogames.com/brilliant-blast-past-shovel-knight-review/">on PS4</a> alike. And ever wonder how something like <em>Shovel Knight</em> even got to be made? We even got to have a chat with its developers a while back which you can check out for yourself <a href="https://bagogames.com/shovel-knight-interview-ian-flood-sean-velasco-yacht-club-games/">here</a>.</p>
