As part of this upcoming release, game publisher CFK revealed new key visuals expected to rejuvenate the game's overall atmosphere while putting the characters in a new light. You can watch these new visuals through the trailer below:
The Remaster
Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony is a remaster of Koumajou Densetsu: Scarlet Symphony released in 2022 for PC and Nintendo Switch. This 2D side-scrolling action game features characters from the Touhou Project.
The game focuses on the main character named Reimu Hakurei, who is currently heading to the Scarlet Devil Castle to discover the cause of a mysterious event plaguing Gensokyo. The title is loved by many players for its dark atmosphere and character design, courtesy of popular illustrator Banpai Akira. It goes without saying that the audio not only matches the mood but also completes the gaming experience.

One feature that the remaster has over the original is being fully-voiced by popular voice actresses:
- Reimu Hakurei (Voiced by: Rina Sato)
- Marisa Kirisame (Voiced by: Ryoko Shintani)
- Remilia Scarlet (Voiced by: Eri Kitamura)
