Shovel Knight began as a humble crowdfunding project and grew into a global success story. The retro-inspired platformer has sold millions of copies, spawned hit DLC expansions, and launched spin-off titles. It even inspired its own Amiibo figure.
The Ultimate Art Collection Arrives
Now, UDON Entertainment is teaming up with developer Yacht Club Games to celebrate the game’s legacy with Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works, a deluxe hardcover art book arriving in May 2026. The collection gathers original concept art, design sketches, sprites, and behind-the-scenes material that shaped the Shovel Knight universe.
Bigger, Better, and Packed with Art
This new edition expands on the long out-of-print Shovel Knight: Official Design Works paperback. It features a brand-new cover by artist Edwin Huang and adds more than 100 pages of never-before-seen artwork. Every game and DLC release in the Shovel Knight saga gets its due in this comprehensive volume.
With its rich visuals and creative insights, Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works promises to be the definitive tribute to one of indie gaming’s most beloved heroes.
