Shovel Knight is available now for backers

A ‘surprise’ early launch

As a backer of Shovel Knight, I randomly got an email that other backers are probably going to enjoy — you can redeem your code for Shovel Knight now, ahead of the game’s launch tomorrow morning. Just follow the Humble Bundle URL in the message, or log into your account to find your key.

If all goes according to plan, the Wii U and 3DS eShop usually updates around 12PM EST if you were planning on buying it yourself. Our review will go live tomorrow morning at 9AM EST, followed shortly by a breakdown of platform differences, and a tips guide.
