WayForward issued an update on the progress of their HD Shantae game, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero<\/em>, and the news wasn’t happy news. The update is by no means dire, but the game is going to be delayed up to six weeks or more.<\/p>\n

Developers have stated that the delay is for bug fixing and adding additional polish, which is definitely a good thing. With the rush to get many games out these days, many games are released relatively unfinished. Day one patches aren’t at all uncommon.<\/p>\n

The release date has been pushed back from September 27th to sometime in mid-November. Still plenty of time before the height of the holiday shopping season. And while it’s certainly not great news, if it means a more polished and better game. It’ll be worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero<\/em> is slated to be released for PS4, Steam, Vita, Wii U, Xbox One. While you wait, why not check out our review for the Shantae and the Pirate\u2019s Curse<\/em><\/a> for the Nintendo 3DS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
