Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is an upcoming platform video game developed and published by WayForward. It is the sixth game in the Shantae series, chronologically taking place between the original Shantae (2002) and Shantae: Risky's Revenge (2010). The game follows the half-genie Shantae as she explores the world of Sequin Land and attempts to prevent her nemesis Risky Boots from using a subterranean device to terraform the world.
The game began development for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, and was planned as the second game in the series, but was cancelled in 2004 due to WayForward being unable to find a publisher for it. In 2023, WayForward announced that development had resumed, and that Limited Run Games would be physically publishing the game for GBA in 2024, later delayed to 2025. Ports of the game for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows are set to be released digitally the same year.
