Japanese animation company Studio Trigger of Kill La Kill and Little Witch Academia fame has been tasked with an intro animation for upcoming Shantae 5. Presented by developer WayForward, the sleek 30 second clip is going to be used for the intro sequence to the next game. Check that out.
The talent at work here is in the description:
Presenting the Opening Animation for Shantae 5, created by none other than the revered Studio TRIGGER! TRIGGER producer Naoko Tsutsumi (Little Witch Academia) collaborated with Shantae creator Erin Bozon (Futurama) and Matt Bozon (series director) to bring the Shantae characters to life. Vocals for the opening were performed by Cristina Vee (Miraculous Ladybug), featuring an original composition by Mark Sparling and musical arrangement by Maddie Lim.
Additionally, some social media users have pointed out that a window in the video has the faint resemblance to the logo of a certain Nintendo series:
Shantae 5 is set to release later this year. It will be available at launch via Apple Arcade for iOS as well as PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
