Shantae and the Seven Sirens will be getting a fun new “Spectacular Superstar” free update available November 30. This new update will feature the following new modes:

Definitive Mode: A more challenging "director's cut" that features classic Shantae difficulty, with rebalanced item drops and magic consumption, as well as more-intense boss fights and new dialog with the Sirens before each battle.
Full Deck Mode: Definitive Mode with a twist. Start with all 50 Monster Cards to customize Shantae's abilities to your liking.
Rule Breaker Mode: Definitive Mode without limits. You can equip up to 50 Monster Cards at once to gain ultimate power.
Beginner Mode: Definitive Mode made simple. This easy mode makes it impossible to lose! Perfect for newcomers or those who just want to explore the world and enjoy the story.

You can also still play the game as it was released with Legacy mode. You’ll also be able to use the unlockable Hula costume which offers stronger magic at the cost of some defense once you have beaten the game at least once. Other enhancements across all modes include improved dialog and the addition of map markers and game hints, which can be toggled on or off via the Pause Menu. This new update is available for all the systems you can currently play the game on: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Apple Arcade. The upcoming Playstation 5 digital and physical copies from Limited Run Games will both have the updates included.

If you haven’t played this game yet I highly recommend it. You play as Shantae, the half genie who’s hair is as deadly as her magic abilities. Transform into animals and borrow magic from other half genies as you explore the underground city where the looming threat of the seven sirens and the pirate Risky Boots awaits you. This is my favorite of the Shantae games so far and was my introduction to the series, so even if you’ve never picked up a Shantae title before you shouldn’t worry about being too lost to play this one. Overall I’m excited about this update and to try out all the new game play options, but especially the rule breaker mode.
