Valkyrie of Phantasm coming to PS5, Switch in 2025 - Gematsu

Publisher PLAYISM and developer Areazero will release high-speed shooting battle action game Valkyrie of Phantasm for PlayStation 5 and Switch in 2025, the companies announced.

Valkyrie of Phantasm first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam on October 23, 2022, followed by a full release on October 18, 2024.

Additional downloadable content characters are also planned for release sometime after the console launch.

Here is an overview of the game, via PLAYISM:

About Control characters from the Touhou Project series in this shooting action game featuring high-speed aerial versus combat! Danmaku battles faster than you’ve ever seen will unfold in the skies of Gensokyo as you use your mobility to dodge countless bullets flying at you with a variety of spells.

Story

A meteorite suddenly crashes into Gensokyo. A crack appears on its metallic, egg-like surface, and small particles of light shine through the cracks, and they scatter all at once, in all directions. Eventually, they reach the most powerful residents of Gensokyo. One of these lights reaches Reimu Hakurei. It engulfs her, as it transforms into what looks like a suit of armor. A name echoes in her head, and she repeats it out loud: “Valkyrie Arms…” Sensing the beginnings of an incident, she sighs and looks off in the direction which the light came from. She floats up into the air, and is gone in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing but a red trail of light behind her. “My body feels so light…” Flying faster than ever before, Reimu realizes that her armor—her Valkyrie Arms—are to thank for her newfound speed. Who gave her this power, and for what purpose? To find the reason behind it all, Reimu hurries on her way… but it doesn’t take long before someone stands in her way. “Looks like I’m not the only one.” Standing before Reimu is another girl, similarly clad in a set of Valkyrie Arms. They were both granted the same power, and they both know what must be done… And thus, a high-speed danmaku battle begins. Valkyrie of Phantasm is based on the Touhou series, but has a brand new original story with the creators’ own interpretations of the world and characters. This is a Touhou Project fan game developed by Areazero.

Prof Turo endgame spoilers

Such a small detail that is difficult to read unless you go back and scrub through but adds to the impact of how mad the professor had gone and the AI valuing life more than a human being. A great twist to the typical AI trope.

The professor was willing to do anything to keep their dream alive, so much so that he programmed the AI to be able to be overwritten and to basically trap and kill anyone who tried to stop it by disabling the pokeballs and locking them in that room. One that the AI didn’t expect either as an additional last resort. Pretty evil shit. Imagine not having one of Turo’s pokeballs for this fight.

SPOILER Dialogue between Arven and Carmine

Carmine was trying to get Arven to admit he developed feelings for Aquavenus (or the MC), specifically regarding the Koraidon jump to Area Zero, but of course, he put on a front, which she did NOT buy, lol.

[aquavenus12]

Well, what they each don't know. 🤷‍♀️

In the end, I love them both, so... Shhhh!! 🤫

[aquavenus12]

Ughh.. if only he got to finish the sentence..

On my 3rd play-through of Scarlet, I realized something about Arven's unfinished sentence before he got interrupted. What was supposed to come after "and"??? Are WE the "and"????
