Yacht Club Games has announced on its official Twitter account that they will start working on another project in 2017. The developer originally gained recognition with the release of of their hit indie game, Shovel Knight, back in 2014.
Q:Will you ever make a new game?
A:If you want something new outside of Shovel Knight…we have vowed to start work on a new project in 2017!— Yacht Club Games – Puzzler's Pack DLC OUT NOW! (@YachtClubGames) January 14, 2017
No details such as what type of game was given, but in a reply they did say they would like to try an RPG. The announcement doesn’t entirely come as a surprise, since the company has posted a survey before asking what type of games fans would like to see in the future.
Would really love to tackle an RPG! Probably something more focused…but it would be a lot to learn for a team like ours!

That survey included several hit games such as Zelda, Mega Man, and Metroid which were used as examples to see what type of game would be more popular among fans. The survey also included several games relating to the Shovel Knight franchise, but the developer has already mentioned that this would be a new IP.
"Outside of Shovel Knight"! 😛

Their next release will be Specter of Torment, which is expected to be out this spring for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Linux, Mac and the Switch.
