Alliance Arts announced on October 16 that the planned public demo release for PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK, scheduled for October 19 ahead of the game's December 8 launch on Steam, has been cancelled. Instead, the developer will hold a closed online trial with participants chosen by lottery from applicants on the official Discord. The company gives two reasons: it judged that proper handling and management of posting and streaming restrictions would be difficult under its current operational structure, and it is concerned that works imitating or reproducing the game's expressions and content using AI or similar tools could appear before launch based on the demo's content. The game is a Russian roulette drinking survival title set in the hell bar Pandemonium, where players face the alcohol demon Fam Sûr, who calls the protagonist Darling and loves the player enough to want to kill them.

Alliance Arts announced on October 9 at the Triple-i Initiative Showcase that its PC game PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK will be released on December 8, 2026, priced at 666 yen including tax. The title is a Russian roulette drinking survival game set in a hellish bar called Pandemonium, where players face the alcohol demon Fam Soule, voiced by Nanahira, who loves the protagonist enough to want to kill them. Players pick one shot glass from several with different alcohol content and toast repeatedly, aiming to get the demon drunk until she spills everything. Drinking raises intoxication and lets players break the rules with drunken tricks. A free demo covering roughly the first 20 minutes arrives on Steam from October 19, and the game joins Steam Next Fest, which starts October 20. The Steam wishlist count passed 500,000 on September 29, 2026. Supported languages are Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese.

Alliance Arts released Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. on September 10 for PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The game is a modern remake of the 2002 bullet hell shooter Touhou Koumakyou, led by original creator ZUN, and marks the first official Touhou Project shooting game on console platforms. It includes a New Classic version with high-resolution graphics and all BGM rearranged by ZUN, plus a Classic version that reproduces the 2002 game as faithfully as possible. The Classic version can inherit replays and save data from the original ver1.02h. New features include a Spell Practice mode and an unlimited lives mode for newcomers. The standard edition costs 1,990 yen, and a deluxe edition with a digital sound player app is 2,966 yen. The original source code was lost, so a programmer from the doujin circle AQUA STYLE independently analyzed the game and built a Switch version, which became the project's starting point. A DVD backup found at ZUN's home helped recreate character portraits. The New Classic version also supports 4K resolution.
