PS5 Limited Run #4: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut — Collector's Edition

Half-genie hero, full collector's treatment. The PS5 Limited Run #4: Shantae Risky's Revenge Director's Cut Collector's Edition for PlayStation 5 gives WayForward's beloved Metroidvania a next-gen physical presence loaded with goods: a full-color manual, an official G2 Blu-ray sized SteelBook, the original soundtrack on CD, a zombie trio enamel pin set, a logo keychain, a Shantae acrylic standee, and a reversible 18" x 24" poster. Being Limited Run's fourth PS5 release gives this one an early-adopter significance that only grows with time.

Shantae's Risky's Revenge was the DSiWare sequel that proved the franchise had legs beyond the original GBC cult classic, and this Director's Cut is the definitive version. The SteelBook brings premium shelf presence, while the zombie trio pins are a deep cut that fans of the series' quirky enemy roster will love. That acrylic standee was designed with compatibility for a larger Shantae statue, which means WayForward and Limited Run were thinking about display ecosystems from the start.

The full-color manual is a welcome throwback to an era when you actually read something before pressing start. For PS5 collectors building a physical library from the console's earliest Limited Run releases, this is a foundational piece.
