NIS America announced on Monday that it will release Touhou Genso Wanderer for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in North America on February 7, 2017 and in Europe on February 10. The PlayStation Vita edition will be digital-only.
The game's launch edition for PlayStation 4 will also include an artbook and Aqua Style's Touhou Double Focus game. In the game's story, Aya Shameimaru and Momiji Inubashiri get sucked into a ghost book and players must help them find their way home. The company streamed a trailer:
NIS America describes the story of Touhou Genso Wanderer:
One day, Reimu Hakurei is visiting Rinnosuke Morichika at his shop, Kourindo. He shows her one of his prized possessions, the golden sphere. However, when she touches it, it unleashes a mysterious beam of light. Rinnosuke starts acting strange, and a giant tower now stands where Kourindo used to be. The population of Gensokyo has also been replicated by clones who attack people on sight. As the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, it is Reimu's duty to resolve this latest incident and bring peace back to Gensokyo. Along the way, she is joined by Futo Mononobe, who has recently set out on a quest to become a first class sage. With her partner in tow, can Reimu make her way through the dungeons of the tower and put an end to this incident?
Aqua Style's 2009 RPG debuted for PlayStation Vita in Japan last June. The game is part of "Play, Doujin," an initiative to bring dōjin games (such as fan-made Touhou Project titles) to PlayStation platforms.
NIS America also released Touhou Gensou Rondo: Bullet Ballet for PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe in September. XSEED Games released Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity in North America in September.
Update: NISA also streamed a trailer for Tohou Genso Wanderer.
