During Nintendo’s Nindies@Night event in Seattle, it included an announcement of three new amiibo figures in the Shovel Knight series.

By tapping three new amiibo figures  based on King Knight, Plague Knight and Specter Knight while playing Shovel Knight, players can unlock exclusive armor sets, new challenge stages and the ability to summon fairy companions to accompany players on quests. Shovel Knight: King of Cards launches on Nintendo Switch in early 2018. The launch date for the new amiibo will be announced in the future.
