Touhou Project is active across multiple fronts in June 2026: a remake of the foundational 2002 game was announced for modern platforms, a set of rare PC-98 originals went on sale at a high price, the series appeared in a Steam sale event, a character from the series placed high in a time-themed character poll, and a summer collaboration event with Yomiuri Land is about to begin.
ZUN and other developers formed a new doujin circle, Shanghai Alice Reprise, to make Touhou Project games playable on modern systems. Its first project is Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic, a remake of the 2002 bullet hell shooter. The remake was announced during a June 9 Nintendo Direct. It supports 1080p, adds new systems and BGM, and includes a Classic Edition reproducing the original. It launches September 10 on Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and Steam.
On the same day, BEEP Akihabara Store announced a lottery sale for a set of five classic Touhou Project PC-98 titles priced at 2.5 million yen. The set includes Touhou Reiiden, Touhou Fuumaroku, Touhou Yumejikuu, Touhou Gensokyo, and Touhou Kaikidan. Lottery tickets are distributed in-store on June 13, with winners announced on June 14. The store noted the price is 1 million yen higher than a similar set sold in a 2024 lottery, though direct comparison is not possible due to condition differences.
Valve launched the Steam Bullet Hell Fest 2026 sale event on June 9, bringing discounts on bullet hell games including multiple Touhou Project titles. The event runs through June 16. Separately, Anime Anime's annual reader survey for Time Day (June 10) asked which time-related character comes to mind. Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou Project placed second, behind DIO from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, for the sixth consecutive year. Touhou Project and Yomiuri Land will hold a limited-time collaboration event titled 'Hakurei Shrine Summer Festival 2026 in Yomiuri Land' from June 20 to August 23, 2026, featuring exclusive merchandise, a walking-style puzzle-solving game, a stamp rally, themed food and drink items, workshops, and a collaboration with the adjacent flower park HANA·BIYORI.
