Thank you gifts are Ret-2-Go
A tweet posted byShantaeco-creator Matt Bozon announced that backers of cutesy-platformerShantae: Half-Genie Heroare to receive a free Steam code for the upcoming GOTY-styleUltimate Edition.
Following the tweet through to the game’sKickstarter page, developers WayForward confirm that the codes will be sent out to all backers as a thank-you for the support the game received throughout its development, with the colourful sequel ultimately launching in September of 2016.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Editionwill include the original game along with expansion adventuresPirate Queen’s QuestandFriends to the End. Also included are the games Hard Core Mode and a selection of the alternate colour palettes and character costumes, which were previously backer-exclusives.
My love of theShantaeseries is no secret, and its very cool to see WayForward thank the fanbase with a free copy of the game. Sure, many backers will already have all the content that is available in theUltimate Edition, but this will provide console players with access to the game on another format, or the code can be gifted to a good buddy. Either way, it’s a nice gesture.
Friends! We are giving every Shantae HGH Backer a copy of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition for Steam 🙂https://t.co/G1eASqSN0apic.twitter.com/JSGAGY6HTS
