Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
A few weeks ago, WayForward shared a teaser trailer for the Risky Boots campaign in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, which is to be called Pirate Queen’s Quest.
Here it is:
This will be the very first bit of paid DLC for the game, though of course, it will remain free to Kickstarter backers. Development is almost complete: the team is currently busy balancing and testing. If it all goes well, the DLC will be released sometime in July/Augusut.

Wargroove
Last month, the developers of Wargroove shared the latest devblog post for the game. This one is pretty important, as it details and showcases the Campaign Editor. It’s not just any level editor, it’s the very tool the developers have been using to create the campaign of the game. In other words, you can expect something extremely robust and feature rich, though the developers promise it will also easy to use.
