Touhou: New World is an action/RPG game with a Bullet Hell twist combined with magical mysteries.

Touhou: New World is 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!

Touhou: New World will be available for purchase on all platforms digitally upon release for $24.99/€24.99/£19.99 as a standard edition, and $34.77/€34.77/£27.81 for the Digital Deluxe edition on PC, which includes a digital soundtrack and artbook.

The Digital Deluxe edition contents will also be sold separately on PC and priced at $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 for the soundtrack and $4.99/€4.99/£3.99 for the digital artbook.

Key Features:

  • Shrine Maiden Skills and Magician Moves - Enemies may unleash fountains of projectiles, but they can be countered by inflicting heavy damage with spell cards, dealing powerful blows with exorcism sticks, and slowing attacks with well-timed guards.
  • Get to Know Gensokyo - Help friendly Gensokyo residents by finding lost souls, investigating strange areas, and engaging in mock battles. Players will be rewarded handsomely, and they might learn a tip or two to aid them in their quest.
