On Monday, Idea Factory International made an exciting announcement regarding the upcoming release of Touhou Spell Carnival, a collaboration between Compile Heart and Sting.

Storyline Overview
The narrative unfolds in Gensokyo, a secluded realm where humans coexist with youkai. The tranquility is disrupted when Reimu Hakurei, the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, discovers mysterious pillars rising across the landscape. These pillars herald the commencement of the Spell Carnival, a festival orchestrated by Yukari Yakumo, where participants must wager their Spell Cards in fierce battles.
Driven by curiosity and a sense of duty, Reimu Hakurei enters the fray to uncover Yukari Yakumo’s true motives behind this sudden festival. The game promises an engaging experience, complete with Japanese audio and text options available in English, French, and Spanish (Spain).
Initially launched in Japan on June 6, after a brief delay from April 18, Touhou Spell Carnival has generated considerable excitement among fans, setting the stage for its North American and European releases.
