Specter of Torment launches as a free update to Shovel Knight on Xbox One

The popular Shovel Knight video game is getting a significant free update on Xbox One that essentially adds an entirely new game. Called, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, this new free add-on adds all-new levels to complete and a new character called the Enchantress to play as. Here’s the official description and trailer:

Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is the action-packed prequel to Shovel Knight! Take control of Specter Knight, servant to the Enchantress, in a quest to recruit a cadre of knights and create the Order of No Quarter. With his scythe and preternatural agility at the ready, he can glide across the ground, clamber up walls, and command an arsenal of curious weapons.

If he carries out his duties, Specter Knight may have a chance at regaining his lost humanity and breaking his chains of servitude. But what cruel tricks might the Enchantress have up her sleeve? Experience perfect platforming, world-class visuals, all new stage designs, new music, new bosses, and even meet a friend or two in Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment!
