Shantae and the Seven Sirens was one of the great claims of Apple Arcade, but its exclusivity comes to an end. The game, the fifth installment of the 2D adventures of this saga, will arrive on May 28 on PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This has been announced by WayFoward, responsible for publishing the title and making it jump directly from mobile phones to consoles and computers. On these platforms the entire game will arrive, since it was released on iOS as a first part and recently received the second and final. It costs 29.99 euros.
This is the fifth installment in the platform and action saga, in which Shantae, the protagonist, ends up in the middle of a tropical island where she will have to explore in a metroidvania style, without linear advancement. In fact, its particular audiovisual section and this freer development in a 2D world full of secrets and places to discover are two of the tricks that have made the saga succeed for several installments. As the game description goes: "In her fifth adventure, the half-genius heroine receives magical fusions with which to explore a submerged city, makes new half-genius friends and fights against the seven sea nymphs."
Finally, note that although the game is a digital bet, Limited Run Games have already announced that they will be in charge of bringing the physical edition: "A physical edition is planned, we will give more details soon." The company has also explained that they will edit both standard and collector's physical editions.
