Shantae Grid-Reboot

Transmission incoming: WayForward has activated production on the next mainline Shantae game, scheduled to launch in 2027. This side-scrolling action-platformer will continue the half-genie hero’s trademark mix of precision platforming, magic-infused combat, and transformation-driven exploration. Announced at Anime Expo, the project targets fans of character-driven indie adventures and retro-inspired design. Expect vibrant 2D visuals, tight controls, and new systems built for modern platforms.
