Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution 2025
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a 2025 platform video game developed by WayForward. It serves as the sixth entry in the Shantae series, set chronologically between Shantae (2002) and Shantae: Risky's Revenge (2010). The game features the half-genie protagonist Shantae as she journeys through Sequin Land to stop her rival Risky Boots from using an underground machine to alter the landscape.
Development began in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), originally intended as the second game in the franchise. However, it was cancelled in 2004 when WayForward could not secure a publisher. In 2023, WayForward revealed that work had restarted, with Limited Run Games set to release physical copies. The GBA version launched in April 2025, followed by digital releases for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in August of the subsequent year.
