They still have a long way to go before development of Shovel Knight is complete. They reached every stretch goal for the Kickstarter campaign, which included additional single-player campaigns based on some of the bosses. And there are still two of them to go. There are also new modes too. So I wouldn't expect a new Shovel Knight game to be announced within the next 2 years.

I know you have read it, anyway quoted from the article:

"It’s Not Over Yet!

We’re still working away on the rest of the Kickstarter Stretch goals. King Knight’s campaign, Specter Knight’s campaign, Body Swap, and 4 Player Battle Mode are all being worked on at the moment. Also in production is the final Kickstarter reward: the Shovel Knight art book (lots of great stuff on the way in that department!). We hope to finally conclude Shovel Knight’s long development journey at the end of this year. It’s been a really fun few years"

Precisely this. If Yacht Club wants to work on a new Shovel Knight right after, we'll see it in 2 years. I think that they'll probably want to create some sort of new IP after Shovel Knight, though.

Also, you just bought the game? Be sure to tell me how its going for you. Shovel Knight really is an incredible game.
