Brawlhalla Shovel Knight Skins: We Can Dig It And Sig It

We reported recently that Brawlhalla is getting some major updates incoming, including Content Update 3.30 this Wednesday that includes a new crossover skin set for Shovel Knight characters. Fans are showing their excitement as Blue Mammoth showed off some gameplay on their stream earlier today, along with more detail on the way the characters will work as skins.

Last week, the developers explained that the skins will essentially work as full changes to the characters that don them, changing animations and even voices. Each skin coordinates to a particular Legend already in the game: Plague Knight Caspian, Spectre Knight Nix, Black Knight Orion, King Knight Roland, and (of course) Shovel Knight Gnash.

Several matches were played to show off particlar changes to each Legend. For instance, a match up between Shovel Knight and Black Knight showed off their different weaponry and sig animations. Not seen in the clips below are custom lock-in animations as well for each skin. You can also see the new map that will be available and is being hinted as being available in Ranked.

Shovel Knight uses Gnash's Hammer and Spear as a pickaxe and shovel, while Black Knight uses Orion's Rocket Lance as a super-shovel of sorts, while the spear is a shovel just like Shovel Knight's. A very notable change is the heavy sig for Shovel Knight that hits the ground and makes jewels fly out.

King Knight is seen using both his Rocket Lance weapon and a sceptre, which utilizes the sword that Roland has while facing off against Plague Knight. The Caspian skin has the usual katars, but will also don the usual bombs as "potions" instead.

Plague Knight takes on King Knight in another clip here, showing off the dual pistols. Of course, there's also a scythe for Plague Knight, which fit Nix just perfectly.

In addition, Content Update 3.30 will include a change of having eight chracters in the free-to-play rotation instead of the usual six. The Autumn Championship Pack was also revealed, which includes an Autumn 2018 avatar and a special Scythe in the shape of an autumn-themed lamp post. These are all available tomorrow (Wednesday), but we know there's another major update coming on November 6 that includes more console launches and Rayman!
