Shovel Knight Download Keys Delivered Early To Backers
Backers of the old-school, Capcom-inspired platformer Shovel Knight can grab their copies of the game a little earlier than expected.
The game is set to release tomorrow, but according to an update on the game's Kickstarter page, if you backed a tier that afforded you a copy of the game, you should be able to find your download code and redeem it for your copy immediately. To find out how to do that, head here.
For non-backers of the game, Shovel Knight will be available tomorrow on 3DS, Wii U, and PC at 11am PST. To see the game's launch trailer, head here. For our review of Shovel Knight, keep an eye on Game Informer.

Our Take
This is a great bonus for those who have been supporting the game since its early development. It's one I have been looking forward to, and I am excited to spend some time with it tomorrow.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
