Pillow fight your foes, float on a dream-like cloud, and deploy sleepy sheep projectiles to deal huge damage!

This update is free for all versions of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (both the base version and Ultimate Edition) – all territories on every gaming platform! It’s our free gift to all of you for supporting Shantae: Half-Genie Hero!

“After 20 years of working on the Shantae series (for Game Boy, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS), this will be her first outing that’s been created for home consoles! The dev team has brought Sequin Land to life using an exciting new visual style that mixes 3D environments and hand drawn characters. It’s a labor of love that was funded by fans and developed with fans – but made for everyone to enjoy! On behalf of WayForward and our Backers, we can’t wait to show you what we’ve created together!”

–Matt Bozon, Shantae Director
