Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost, the rhythm bullet hell in the Touhou universe launches on PlayStation 4 on Wednesday, 16 April 2025. Alongside the PlayStation 4 release date announcement, a second Toby Fox x ZUN collaboration and a new song pack DLC for $6.99, both launch today on PC via Steam.
Alongside ten new songs in the sixth DLC song pack, witness a legendary crossover event where composers Toby Fox and ZUN arrange each other’s songs. Toby Fox’s arrangement of Touhou Project’s “Necrofantasia” theme, and ZUN’s arrangement of Undertale’s “MEGALOVANIA” are available today. Animator, illustrator, developer, and Undertale lead artist Temmie Chang created gorgeous song cover illustrations for Toby Fox’s newest track.
Unleash bullet hell attacks while stepping to the beat, dancing and dodging around enemy fire. Uncover the cause of Gensokyo’s collapse with Reimu Hakurei and other Touhou heroines in danmaku-style rhythm battles. Switch to Kagura mode to play each song in classic falling notes rhythm game style and rack up points with precision, and customize gameplay elements with changeable note designs, note speeds, and the ability to reposition screen elements.
Uncover the mystery behind the catastrophic event that turned the once-vibrant Phantasia into a fragile bubble. As Reimu, gather Fragments of Memories to rebuild her home and reveal the truth behind the turmoil. Encounter beloved Touhou heroines along the way, teaming up with them to unleash their legendary spells in thrilling Danmaku rhythm battles.
“As always, having ZUN-san make a cover of one of my songs is a dream come true… What!? I have to make a song, too!?” said Toby Fox about the collaboration. “This time I took the original Megalovania and did bone-lengthening surgery on it to transform it into a cover of Necrofantasia. People might call it lazy, but it is pretty cool. … You know, just like Sans or Yukari. So you can’t complain. By the way, this has nothing to do with the song… But personally, I was really concerned about Sans, a male character, showing up in the female-dominated world of Touhou. Therefore, I made him wear girl’s clothing. Thanks everyone. (Hey! That didn’t fix anything!)”
“The song was really cool and gave me a lot of energy and a feeling of nostalgia to a time that’s passed, but meant much to me. It was fun to draw for this while listening to it on loop,” said Temmie Chang. “I’m really happy I was able to draw each of these illustrations. If you were to tell a baby Tem that she’d get to draw something for ZUN one day, I think her heart would’ve stopped. Thank you for the opportunity! The Yukari Sans drawing is my favorite drawing I’ve ever drawn.”
Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost arrives on PlayStation 4 on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 (with backwards compatibility on PlayStation 5), and is available now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch with language options in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
