Shovel Knight amiibo all but confirmed after retailer leaks

There’s been a little chit, and chat around the water cooler about a Shovel Knight amiibo for some time. Last night a UK GAME store might have just finally let the cat out of the bag.

In a now deleted tweet the store posted that the amiibo will be available to preorder from ‘tomorrow’, likely after the Nindies@Night PAX Prime event.

So what does this Shovel Knight amiibo do? Well it unlocks exclusive content in the Wii U and 3DS version of the game, it will work in future Yacht Club Games titles.

There’s also the possibility that Shovel Knight could appear in Smash Bros, the amiibo doesn’t feature any Super Smash Bros series logos so for now keep that one in the ‘bucket of salt’ category.

We’ll find out more in the next 24 hours.
