After 20 years, Shantae’s lost adventure comes full circle! Independent game studio WayForward, alongside publisher Limited Run Games, is elated to announce that Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution — the long-lost Shantae title for Game Boy Advance — is now available to preorder from LimitedRunGames.com. Finally completed after a two-decade hiatus, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution realizes the vision that began many years ago, allowing players to experience the journey on a Game Boy Advance-compatible cartridge as it was originally intended. The game is available in both a standard edition and a collector’s edition, and will be offered as an open preorder from February 23 through April 7, 2024. A new gameplay trailer can be seen here:

A direct follow-up to the legendary original 2002 Shantae game, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution takes players on a never-before-seen quest in which the belly-dancing Half-Genie Shantae must stop nefarious pirate Risky Boots, who is back with a “groundbreaking” new scheme that will leave Sequin Land spinning: by rotating the continent itself, cities will be relocated to the coast and become ripe for the plunder. However, by using Shantae’s signature hair-whip attack, magical creature transformations, and her new ability to rearrange the game’s mix-and-match multilayered levels, players will be able to turn the tectonic tables on Risky.

As the adventure unfolds, Shantae explores multiple towns and labyrinths, obtains a variety of magical attacks and items, battles fierce bosses, and meets friends like Rottytops, Sky, and Bolo — some of whom will be encountering each other for the first time. On top of the single-player story mode, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution also includes a Link Cable enabled Battle Mode for up to 4 players — a first for the Shantae series.

The standard edition of Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution includes the physical game on a transparent purple GBA-compatible cartridge, along with an instruction manual, and is priced at $59.99. The collector’s edition — which includes a physical copy of Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution on a shiny gold GBA-compatible cartridge, acrylic display frame, instruction manual, embossed foil game box, collectible coin, spinning enamel pin, original CD soundtrack, and a double-sided 12″x16″ poster, all packed into a deluxe foil box with foil slipcover — is priced at $99.99.
