WayForward has announced today that they are in the midst of developing the next game in the long-running Shantae series. A title for the game has yet to be announced, but the team is knuckling down developing their latest project. Shantae series director Matt Bozon said in a special message to fans that it will be a while before they have anything concrete to share, but that they hope fans look forward to the next chapter.
“Today I get to share some very exciting news, and that is that we’re currently hard at work on a brand-new, seventh entry in the Shantae series. We won’t have anything to share in a while, but we hope you’ll look forward to it.”
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!

That’s awesome that we are getting another Shantae game.
It’s cool that Shantae is getting another game in her series. I don’t play Shantae but I do like her design and flaw through.
Shiver me timbers, that’s arrrhrite news.
This series is the closest thing to the Wonderboy games, I think they should try for a full 3D game next. It can distance itself from Zelda by having smaller/medium size areas instead of giant ass deserts that Nintendo seem to be obsessed with for some reason now.
So yeah, a 3D one could be interesting if done right.
