Puzzler's Pack Free Update - EP.10.2 - “Wow, so much stuff!” Patch Out Now

Welcome, Puzzlers! So we hear that you want to delve even further into the Pocket Dungeon and explore the new Puzzler’s Pack DLC early! To access the Early Preview, you will need to switch to a special Steam Branch to access the content.

Friendly reminder! This is an Early Preview of our Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Puzzler’s Pack DLC, we’re still in the process of ironing out a ton of new features and rolling out fixes! With that in mind, there is a possibility that you’ll run into bugs, crashes, and oddities that you wouldn’t normally encounter in a retail release. So, to avoid any potential mishaps, we recommend you back up your save files just in case! This Early Preview is currently limited to the Steam version of the game. Once the DLC has been polished and meets the quality bar that we’re happy with, we will bring the DLC to consoles. Thank you for your patience!

If you encounter any issues or have any feedback for us reach out to us on our Discord, or email us at our support email.
