ZUN

ZUN, founder of the Touhou Project circle Shanghai Alice Fantasy Band, is raising prices across his games and CDs for the first time in years, and has formed a new circle, Shanghai Alice Reprise, to remake the 2002 game Touhou Koumakyou for modern platforms, with the remake launching September 10 on PC, PS5, Switch, and Switch 2.

Synthesized from 27 Yomimono stories · updated 5d ago

ZUN's Touhou Project is in a period of visible change. In June 2026, during a Nintendo Direct, ZUN and AQUA STYLE representative JYUNYA announced the formation of a new doujin circle, Shanghai Alice Reprise, dedicated to making Touhou games playable on modern systems. Its first project, Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic, is a remake of the 2002 bullet hell shooter that had become unplayable on modern Windows due to frame rate issues. The remake launches September 10 on PC via Steam, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a standard edition at 1,990 yen and a deluxe edition with a digital soundtrack at 2,966 yen. It upgrades the original to 1080p with fully rearranged BGM by ZUN, and includes a Classic Mode reproducing the 2002 game, plus new modes and features like a player hitbox display and a boss position marker.

In August 2026, ZUN announced via his X account and the Touhou Project news site that Shanghai Alice Fantasy Band would revise prices for its works. At event sales, all game titles will sell for 1,500 yen and all music CDs for 1,000 yen, with the summer new release "Reichou Shineki Kyou" also distributed for 1,000 yen. Starting September 1, retail prices change: games to 1,600 yen (excluding tax), music CDs to 1,200 yen (excluding tax), and "Yougakudan no Rekishi 1" to 1,400 yen (excluding tax). ZUN said prices had been kept unchanged until now, but production costs have reached their limit, and asked for understanding. The revision affects past works as well as new ones, ending a long period of stable pricing.

Touhou Project Streaming Rules Ban Original Game Endings Ahead of New Classic Release

Team Shanghai Alice, the circle behind the Touhou Project, reminded fans on September 4 that publicly releasing the endings of the original games is prohibited under its derivative works guidelines, just days before the September 10 launch of the remake Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic. The reminder came via the official Shanghai Alice Reprise X account, which posted links to the Guidelines for Posting to Video Distribution Services and the Touhou Project Derivative Works Guidelines. These guidelines were not changed for this release, but they explicitly list acts of publicly releasing original game endings as prohibited. Under the video distribution guidelines, streaming by individual players is generally treated as fan activity and faces no major restrictions, yet the ending restriction still applies. Players who plan to stream or post Let's Play videos are advised to keep ending segments out of their broadcasts or cut them through editing. The remake updates the 2002 Windows Touhou Koumakyou with high-resolution graphics, fully rearranged music by series creator ZUN, a new Life Infinite Mode for less experienced players, and a Classic Version that reproduces the original game. The game launches September 10 on PC via Steam, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
