XSEED Games announces
Touhou: New World, a bullet hell shooter coming to
PC and Switch this (northern) summer, and to PlayStation at some point after
that. The
Announcement Trailer starts off looking like a serene walk in the park
before the bullets start flying. Word is this is a fan-created follow up to
Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity. Here's a bit:
Touhou: New World returns players
to Gensokyo, a supernatural world that both humans and the spirits known as
youkai call home. While far from idyllic, life for residents is relatively
uneventful; that is until the mystical barrier protecting it is breached by an
outsider harboring an obsession with the supernatural realm, bringing chaos to
both Gensokyo and the world beyond. It’s up to shrine maiden Reimu and her
magician friend Marisa to uncover the true source of the chaos and restore peace
to both worlds, dodging magical bullet barrages and battling a menagerie of
mystical creatures along the
way!
