30 years of ‘Touhou Project’ is crazy. And yet, ZUN keeps on cooking. Introducing the 20th ‘Touhou’ game, ‘Fossilized Wonders’.

ZUN, you absolute madman. You’ve been making Touhou games for 30 years now. 30 years! And yet you keep going. You keep cooking. Now, the next release in the main Touhou Project series is on the way, and a demo for the game is fast approaching. Get ready, weebs, for the 20th Touhou title: .

News broke on April 12th, when ZUN turned to Touhou Yomoyama News to unveil the upcoming game. Team Shanghai Alice’s Touhou Kinjōkyō: Fossilized Wonders seemingly plans to return Touhou to a straightforward and standard bullet hell gameplay approach, with a focus on Hakurei Reimu and Marisa Kirisame as main characters.

According to a Google Translate version of ZUN’s announcement, players can expect eight “mysterious” stones to influence how the game is played. One screenshot shows Marisa in a “Stone Select” screen, with a “Main Story Stone” available. Another mid-game screen states “Wonder Stone Appeared!” as Marisa is firing bullets. Early screenshots show a familiar vertical shooter approach with plenty of magical projectiles to dodge, although we know little yet about how those “mysterious” stones will change the way the game’s iconic bullet hell gameplay is played.
