Shovel Knight Gold Edition Amiibo Available For Preorder

The Shovel Knight Gold Edition Amiibo was an all-but-confirmed rumor up until recently. This writer already preordered two from GameStop prior to the official announcement by Yacht Club Games that it is indeed a thing, and one that devout Shovel Knight fans will very much want to get their hands on. Here’s the announcement Tweet:

Flashy! Decorative! Useful! You may have heard whispers of such a treasure. A beshoveled knight that shines like gold. Today we’re happy to finally confirm the legends are true!

According to a post on the Yacht Club website, there isn’t really anything to differentiate this version of the Shovel Knight Amiibo from the original beyond the paint job and the inability to scan this figurine from inside the box (something collectors loved about the original). Here’s the breakdown of what to expect:

• Custom Knight – A crazy fun way to play Shovel of Hope! Level up by collecting gold and unlock new moves, costumes, and more!
• Co-op challenge stages in Shovel of Hope
• Baron Set costume for Shovel Knight Showdown
• Fairy of Shovelry in any Shovel Knight game

Initially, it was only possible to get a preorder by appearing in-person, but online reservations are now open on GameStop and Best Buy’s websites. There’s no firm release date beyond December, but we’ll update once we hear more! Will you be getting a Shovel Knight Gold Edition Amiibo? Share with us below and on social media!
