WayForward has teased a new installment in the Shantae series, indicating it will be released in 2027 on multiple platforms. The developer posted on X that it has been working on the next Shantae game and shared a brand-new teaser image. Nintendo Life reports that WayForward previously announced last October that it was hard at work on what it described as the seventh entry in the franchise, and the new teaser provides an updated look at the upcoming project.
The teaser image is tied to the developer’s appearance at Anime Expo, where WayForward unveiled the promotional artwork for the next game. While the sources confirm the timing—2027—and that the release will span several platforms, they do not provide details on genre, story, release dates by platform, or specific platforms themselves beyond the multi-platform wording. As of the latest reports, the project remains unannounced beyond the teaser and the broad 2027 release window, with no further gameplay or publishing information included in the shared summaries.
