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 Kawase series)
- Noko (Umihara Kawase series)
- Emiko (Umihara Kawase series)
- 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 Strangers is coming to PS4, Switch, and PC this summer.
