Shovel Knight Gets Amiibo and Co-Op Update this December and January!

Shovel Knight fans, the wait is over.

Yacht Club games has announced that the long-awaited Shovel Knight amiibo figure will be available in Europe on December 11, while here in North America, fans will have to wait another month, as the figure won’t arrive on store shelves until January 8, 2016.

But that’s not all.

In addition to the December 11 and January 8 launch dates, Wii U owners in both regions get an extra bonus as the Shovel Knight Amiibo unlocks a Co-Op mode for the Wii U version of Shovel Knight, as well as new challenges, and a ‘custom knight’ feature (Co-Op with the Shovel Knight amiibo ala Yoshi’s Wooly World?).
