WayForward has given more insight into Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse’s gameplay.

We previously learned that Shantae has teamed up with Risky Boots after losing her powers in Risky’s Revenge. Players will be collecting Risky’s pirate gear, and they do so, will find Shantae turning into a more pirate-like character.
