Limited Run Games [1] has announced their next set of physical releases on PlayStation 4 and it’s all about Shantae. The cult classic platforming adventure series began on the Game Boy Color in 2002 and has seen two new entries in recent years with a fourth installment coming in December.

As part of the lead up to the new game, Half-Genie Hero [2], developer WayForward and Limited Run are releasing 5,800 physical copies of both Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut [3] ($24.99) and Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse [4] ($29.99) on October 28th at 10am EST.

One of the hallmarks of the series has always been its music, created by Jake “virt [5]” Kaufman, which Limited Run is also commemorating with three new CD releases. Also up for sale on October 28th will be a scant 750 copies of the soundtracks to all three current titles: Shantae, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge and Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse. The albums each cost $14.99 and will be made available in two batches at 9:45am and again at 6:00pm EST.

If this news has rekindled your Shantae passion or if you’re new to it’s music you can read much [6], much [7] more about it in our previous coverage [8]. The Risky’s Revenge [9] and Pirate’s Curse [10] soundtracks are also available on virt’s Bandcamp page and once, long ago [11], he posted the original Game Boy Color music to his blog.
