Shovel Knight Xbox One physical release cancelled due to 'publishing policies'

《钢铲骑士》实体版将推迟两周发售 售价上涨
此前官方曾透露《钢铲骑士》实体版将于2015年10月13日发售,不过根据最新的情报,本作的实体版将推迟两周上市。日前新发售日已经确认,本作实体版将于2015年10月30日登陆欧洲,11月3日则将登陆北美,游戏将登陆3DS、WiiU、PS4和PC平台(PC实体版仅限欧洲地区发售),而令人遗憾的是,原本预计推出的XBOX One实体版已被取消。
对XBOX One实体版的取消,Yacht Club Games也做出了解释:“我们尽了最大的努力,但不幸的是,该平台的发行政策完全超出了我们的控制,我们无法做到这一点了。我们非常抱歉,我们知道大家对此都非常有兴趣。预订状况非常好,我们也感谢大家的支持。”
本作实体版的售价也有所上涨,最初公开的售价为19.99美元,而现在官方更新的最新售价24.99美元。对此他们表示:“虽然最初大家都同意19.99美元的价格,但是一些零售商跑来展示他们有限的货架,并表示这些位置的游戏有一定的价格规则。我们不希望我们的‘廉价’游戏直接被直接放在折价商品区里默默无闻,所以我们不得不提高售价。”不过为了弥补涨价的问题,Yacht Club Games表示在实体版游戏中将会包含本作数字版原声集的免费下载码。
此外官方还表示他们也在努力打造本作的PSV实体版,不过看样子无法在假日期间推出。
Shovel Knight - Retail Update
What’s up Shovelers and Plague Doctors! Enjoying Plague of Shadows? With this update, we’re slingin’ accurate information about Shovel Knight, soon to be the hottest game on retail shelves!
There’s been some tumult with the physical version release of Shovel Knight. You may have noticed storefronts changing wildly lately…and that’s because a lot of decisions have been being made internally to help make this release possible. Retailers and websites tend to update their information at different times to keep their side up-to-date, but we wanted to make sure we had absolutely certain information before laying out the facts. We also wanted to be sure to explore all possible solutions too. So for all those looking for answers, here they are!
Release Date Change
November 3rd for North America, October 30th for Europe.
The final few steps of the Plague of Shadows content took a little longer than expected, but it was important to us that this update to be on the disc/cart right out of the box! Unfortunately that meant we had to push back the date just a little a bit. Luckily, all of the teams throughout the various console manufacturing steps have been really helpful in reducing this knock-on delay as much as possible.
Xbox One Retail Version Cancelled
With extremely heavy hearts, we’re sad to announce there will not be an Xbox One physical version this holiday. We really gave it our best effort, but unfortunately, because of publishing policies on that platform that are totally beyond our control, we couldn’t make it happen. We’re very sorry…we know there is a lot of interest – the pre-orders were really good and we thank everyone for their support!
We’ll keep fighting to get a retail version on Xbox One, but as of now, the boxed version is in indefinite limbo. The digital version of Shovel Knight on Xbox One is already available and will, of course, continue to receive new updates and our full support!
Price Change for Physical version – now $24.99
In an unexpected turn of events, we’ve had to raise the price of our game to $24.99. Although everyone initially agreed to a $19.99 price point, some retailers ran into trouble with limited space to show off their wares, and the rules in place about where games with certain prices are displayed. We didn’t want our ‘bargain priced’ game to go straight to the bargain bin of obscurity, so we had to raise the price.
However, we didn’t want anyone to feel as if they were getting hoodwinked just because of our retail situation! If you have already pre-ordered Shovel Knight, your retailer should honor the original price!
We’ve been working hard every day to ensure the physical version is a welcome addition to your game library. From box cover to disc to full color instruction manual. Lastly, to make the package even more compelling at its new price, we’ve added even more!
Physical version comes with Digital Soundtrack!!
All versions of the physical release will now come with a free soundtrack download. We know this is a bit redundant, as the soundtrack is ‘pay what you want’ online, but this provides a guilt free way to formally obtain the full, high-quality version of the soundtrack for free! Hopefully, it also gets Jake Kaufman’s beautiful soundtrack into more people’s hands for those people who are unaware of Bandcamp!
Vita Version – Not Yet!
Many of you have expressed your enthusiasm in seeing a retail Vita version happen! While we can confirm one won’t be shipping this holiday, we are still working our hardest to make it possible! Hang in there a bit longer, and hopefully we can make something happen! In the meantime, if you want to play Shovel Knight on your Vita right now, the digital version is available for download at right this very moment!
Shovel Knight amiibo Update!?!
For all those wondering about all things Shovel Knight amiibo, we hope to have more updates soon. We’re still pinning down a final release date. As soon as we know, you’ll know! Many have asked for us to open up preorders in North America — and so do know that we are considering it. Hopefully when we announce the release date we’ll have more info on that front!
Alright, that’s all we’ve got for today. Let us know if you have any questions about what’s happening at retail! Hope everyone is enjoying the Plague of Shadows content!
