Shovel Knight's Xbox One Physical Release Cancelled

Yacht Club has formally confirmed that the Xbox One physical release of Shovel Knight has been canned due to "publishing policies on the platform that are totally beyond our control, we couldn't make it happen."

You'll still be able to grab a retail copy of the game for PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS in three weeks but with an increased price, switching from $19.99 to $24.99. This news accompanied the cancellation announcement and blame was subsequently placed on retailers who "ran into trouble with limited space to show off their wares, and the rules in place about where games with certain prices are displayed."

This inflation won't affect your pre-order, so don't worry. Furthermore, the official North American release date has been pushed back until November 3rd on remaining platforms. Europeans will be able to pick the game up on October 30.
