sequel to the Game Boy Color original has been over two decades in the making.<\/p>\n<p>But, after debuting on a GBA cartridge earlier in the year, it\u2019ll now launch on the more easily accessible PS5 and PS4 on 19th August.<\/p>\n<p>The game will cost $24.99, but those who choose to pay an extra $10 can get a Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the following DLC items:<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Relic Hunter Costume<\/dt>\n<dd>Powers up Pike Ball attacks.<\/dd>\n<dt>High Voltage Costume<\/dt>\n<dd>Powers up Storm Puff attacks.<\/dd>\n<dt>Sizzle Armor Costume<\/dt>\n<dd>Powers up Fireball attacks.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that if you pre-order the physical version of the game from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2025\/07\/shantae-advance-risky-revolution-launches-august-19\">Limited Run Games<\/a>, all three of the aforementioned outfits will be included on the Blu-ray, so that\u2019s a nice little bonus. Pre-orders for the boxed copies will open on 8th August.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile\">\n<figure class=\"youtube with-primis\" data-videoid=\"a3LZYBo9LF0\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a3LZYBo9LF0?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"yt-2\" class=\"external youtube-thumbnail\" title=\"Play\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a3LZYBo9LF0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/a3LZYBo9LF0\/mqdefault.jpg 800w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/a3LZYBo9LF0\/maxresdefault.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/a3LZYBo9LF0\/maxresdefault.jpg\" width=\"890\" height=\"501\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><\/a><figcaption>\n<p class=\"youtube-watch\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Watch This Video on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a3LZYBo9LF0\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on <strong><span class=\"icon icon-youtube-play\"><\/span> YouTube<\/strong> <span class=\"icon icon-link-external\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\">Push Square<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sub-button external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\"><span class=\"subs-label\">YouTube<\/span><span class=\"subs\">159k<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"V0Drtyfhdf0\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V0Drtyfhdf0?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution Deluxe Edition Costume Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V0Drtyfhdf0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><figcaption>\n<p class=\"youtube-watch\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Watch This Video on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V0Drtyfhdf0\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on <strong><span class=\"icon icon-youtube-play\"><\/span> YouTube<\/strong> <span class=\"icon icon-link-external\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\">Push Square<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sub-button external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\"><span class=\"subs-label\">YouTube<\/span><span class=\"subs\">159k<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect from a Shantae sequel, this is a side-scrolling platformer with puzzles, collectibles, and more.
