Despite the lack of news surrounding Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, WayForward creative director Matt Bozon has confirmed that development “has not slowed at all.” If all goes well, fans will be playing the game this fall.

WayForward apparently has “some pretty big surprises to reveal.” The studio hopes to share more news soon, but for now, Bozon hopes that players can experience the original Shantae, which just launched on the 3DS eShop.

Bozon said:

“…Development on Pirate’s Curse has not slowed at all. From the start we’ve have a dedicated team working full time unlike in past years where we’d put Shantae on hold while we worked on licensed games. At our current size we can have many games in development, which has been critical to keeping this game on schedule. Currently we’re looking at a Fall release in 2013. …the game looks beautiful and we’ve got some pretty big surprises to reveal. Like BIG surprises, and I’m really looking forward to sharing more! For now, please support us by picking up the original Shantae, which is currently on Virtual Console at $4.99. Think of it as a $1,995.00 off sale compared to the recent eBay price!”

Some gamers feel that the Assassin’s Creed games have lacked satisfying endings. Perhaps the “cycle” will be broken with this year’s release, Black Flag.

Assassin’s Creed IV lead writer Darby McDevitt recently took to Twitter and said that the upcoming title will in fact be satisfying:

You’ll be able to place your own judgement on Black Flag’s ending when it launches in October.
