Shantae and the Seven Sirens reveals title, plot details and first screenshots

Getting Ret-2-Go

WayForward has finally revealed the official title to their upcoming adventure sequel, previously known simply as Shantae 5. Shantae and the Seven Sirens will see the half-genie hero and all of her pals return for another rip-roaring 🔥adventure, only this time away from their usual locale of Scuttle Island.

this latest entry in Shantae series will see all of its beloved characters travel to a far-off land in search of remaining half-genies. There Shantae, Rotty, Sky and co. will encounter wild adventure and meet new friends and enemies, including the titular “seven sirens”. While exploring this “non-linear, interconnected” new world, Shantae will discover new dances, utilise new abilities, enjoy mini-games and engage in WayForward’s trademark epic boss battles.

As you can see from the screens below, newly released by the developer, Seven Sirens will see a return to the art style from previous release Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. While I will admit to feeling a smidgen of disappointment with that – as this series has been known to reinvent itself with each release – we can also see plenty of all-new additions, including cutscene portraits, a new UI, a whole bunch of new characters and even a cute mer-creature transformation. I’m still chomping at the bit to get on board with this new adventure, particularly as its colourful world , ala the amazing Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse. Exciting stuff.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens is scheduled for launch later this yea💃r for PS4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Sw🍨itch and Apple Arcade.
