Shantae 7 Announced To Be In Development

Developer WayForward announced that a seventh entry in the Shantae series is currently in development. Additional details, including a release window, were not announced. “Today I get to share some very exciting news, and that is that we’re currently hard at work on a brand-new, seventh entry in the Shantae series,” said WayForward chief corporate officer Matt Bozon. “We won’t have anything to share in a while, but we hope you’ll look forward to it.” The latest entry in the series, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution launched in August and is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution details:

Shantae is back in a 2D side-scrolling action–adventure game 20 years in the making! The nefarious pirate Risky Boots has a “groundbreaking” new plan that will leave Sequin Land spinning—by rotating the continent, she can move any town right to the coast for easy plundering! As Shantae, turn the tectonic tables on Risky by taking control of the land itself: shift, twist, navigate, and explore by swapping between mix-and-match multilayered levels! Hair-whip and belly-dance your way through scrambled lands, misplaced towns, monster-filled crypts, and daunting labyrinths. Six creature transformations, fierce boss battles, and a four-player versus mode await!
