What I've heard is that while you won't necessarily play as shield knight there will be a gender reversed mode where shovel knight is a woman and shield knight is her husband. The Enchantress becomes the Enchanter and all of the knights in the game have their genders switched as well.
They're also planning on adding secondary modes where you can play as King Knight, Plague Knight and Spectre Knight in their own stories after the european release... So I could see a playable shield knight as a possibility!
