Hi fellas,

today should be the release of the priceless Plague Knight DLC for Shovel Knight.
But my Shovel Knight.exe hasn´t been updated until now.

When will be the release of this DLC at GoG.com?

Thanks, for your help.

Greetings from Germany.

The devs said on twitter that it would go live on 11am PST, but I think that's for Steam. GOG might be earlier considering it's based in Europe.

Haha I guess people are too busy playing to post that the update is already live on GOG? ;)

I think you may have misinterpreted my posting... I know that it's live. That's why I wrote what I wrote. :)

Thanks,

I´ve to beat the game, again :D

My game of the year, 2014 <3

Ah, no worries man :)

Is there a way to unlock the DLC without having to finish the normal game yet again?

If you have beaten the game once you just have to start a new game from a fresh profile. You should be able to select Plague Knight then.
If you haven't beaten the original campaign on any profile you can use the following cheat code: https://twitter.com/YachtClubGames/status/644548212674592769
On the title screen: Hold the Attack button, press Up, Up, RIght, Down, Left, Left, release the Attack button.

Weird, the cheat doesn't work for me. I'll have to try it on my controller later instead.

Thank you very much - this worked. The thing is I don't have any data left from previous playthroughs so the idea of having to finish the normal game yet again was quite a turn-off... ;)
