WayForward confirms seventh Shantae title slated for 2027, sparking fan excitement

## Intelligence Brief
WayForward announced that the seventh entry in the Shantae series is in development and targets a 2027 release window. The confirmation came during Anime Expo and was accompanied by the first teaser artwork.
