While other games in the Shantae series are already available on PlayStation, one has been missing for some time – the original. However, that will be changing soon, as our half-genie hero will be sashaying her way onto both PS4 and PS5 later this year.
Shantae director Matt Bozon revealed this news on the PlayStation blog, where he shared a trip down the series’ memory lane in honour of its 20th anniversary.
Here, he revealed that Shantae was first conceived by his wife, Erin Bozon, in a bid to get more women and girls into video games.
