WayForward has confirmed that a new Shantae game is in development and will be released next year.<\/p>\n
The developer announced the news during a panel at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this weekend, where it shared artwork for a redesigned Shantae, along with a 2027 release date for the unnamed new game. No further details were revealed.<\/p>\n
Shantae is a platformer series in which players control the half-genie who can transform into various forms, each with their own abilities.<\/p>\n
The last Shatae title, last year\u2019s Risky Revolution, wasn\u2019t technically a totally new game, since it was a revival of a 2004 Game Boy Advance game that was canceled before release.<\/p>\n
In 2019, WayForward released the Apple Arcade<\/a> entry Shatae and the Seven Stars, which was later ported to consoles.<\/p>\n The series\u2019 most significant recent entry was 2016\u2019s Half-Genie Hero, which was released for consoles and PC<\/a> after a successful crowdfunding campaign.<\/p>\n While California-based WayForward is best known for Shantae, during its 30-year history it\u2019s also worked on plenty of licensed games, including titles based on Double Dragon, Duck Tales, Adventure Time and Marvel Puzzle Quest.<\/p>\n Most recently, it worked on the Nintendo Switch<\/a> remake of Nintendo<\/a>\u2019s Advance Wars<\/a> games, which VGC called in our Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp review<\/a> \u201ca love letter to one of the most memorable handled strategy games ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WayForward has confirmed that a new Shantae game is in development and will be released next year.
