Overview
- WayForward announced at Anime Expo that a new, currently untitled Shantae game is in development and is scheduled for release in 2027.
- The studio released a single teaser image that depicts a redesigned Shantae but gave no information on platforms, gameplay, a subtitle, or an exact launch date.
- This announcement follows WayForward’s October statement that it was working on a seventh Shantae entry and last year’s revival release, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution.
- WayForward’s roughly 30-year history and recent work on Nintendo Switch remakes of Advance Wars shape expectations about production quality and possible publishing partners.
- Fans should watch for official updates naming platforms, revealing gameplay, and setting a firm release date because those details will determine who can play the game and when.
