ZUN, the creator of Touhou Project, announced today that the remake of the classic Touhou fan-favorite, "Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic," will launch on PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam) on September 10. ZUN personally supervised the remake and was responsible for rearranging all the music. Stay tuned.
"Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic" is a remake of the sixth installment in the Touhou Project series, which was the first bullet hell shooter to launch on the Windows platform.
The story takes place in Gensokyo, shrouded in a red barrier. Players control either Reimu Hakurei or Marisa Kirisame as they investigate the incident at the mysterious Western-style mansion, the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
The game pioneered the series' modern bullet hell style and introduced the "grazing" system for the first time, along with iconic characters and bosses such as Patchouli Knowledge, Sakuya Izayoi, and Remilia Scarlet. Its elaborate bullet patterns and distinct character designs laid the core foundation for the future development of the Touhou series.
