Quick News Blitz
Hold onto your hair-whip — WayForward has quietly confirmed that the next Shantae game is officially in development. The announcement popped up at the end of Limited Run’s 10th anniversary livestream, and series director Matt Bozon gave fans a big thank-you before dropping the good news.
Where We Are Right Now
What we know: this will be the seventh major Shantae title and the team is already working on it. What we don’t know: basically everything else. No subtitle, no platforms, no release window — just a cheerful promise that more info will come later. Translation: patience, but also hype.
The Devs Said Something Nice
Bozon expressed gratitude to fans for the support around the recent Shantae revival on GBA and hinted that the studio is excited to keep the momentum going. In short: the community helped make the latest comeback a hit, and now the team is cooking up a new adventure.
Small Fixes, Big Feelings
And yes, the latest re-release received a patch in September to squash some bugs — the team is clearly still keeping an eye on things while they gear up for the next project. So while you wait for new trailer drops or mysterious teasers, at least the current game runs smoother.
A Tiny History Lesson (Because Nostalgia)
Shantae first strutted onto the scene back in the early 2000s on the Game Boy Color and has since become a lovable, dance-and-whip platforming series. If you’re catching up or introducing a friend to the franchise, most entries are available digitally on modern platforms, including the Nintendo Switch eShop.
So… What Now?
Keep an eye on official channels for the real reveals — trailers, screenshots, and the sweet, sweet specifics. Until then, speculate wildly, re-play your favorite Shantae moments, and revel in the fact that more quirky belly-dancing hijinks are on the horizon.
Parting Thought
New game confirmed means one thing: fans, start theorizing. Will Risky Boots return as frenemy-turned-fashion-icon? Will Shantae discover a new hairstyle with superpowers? Nobody knows, but the wait should be fun — and maybe a little chaotic. Game on!
