Touhou Luna Nights Goes Ver. 1.0 on February 26

Let those daggers fly!

Publishers Vaka and Playsism and developer Team Ladybug have announced that Version 1.0 of Touhou Luna Nights will be going live next week.

Luna Nights Ver. 1.0 will introduce plenty of new content for players to enjoy, including Stages 4 & 5, the new Screw Knife and Shield Dagger features, and and the Yellow Aura ability which, when used, will allow Sakuya to play events in reverse while time has been stopped. Additionally, Scarlet Manor’s own Remilia will be showing up as a boss. Team Ladybug has confirmed that new features will be rolled out in the future as well, including, but not limited to, a boss rush mode and all-new stages.

A Sakuya Izayoi Fan Art Contest has also been announced, with Playism, Vaka, and Team Ladybug encouraging fans to send in their artwork of the game’s leading lady. From now up until March 12, fans can tweet their artwork to Playism on Twitter at either @playismJP or @playismEN, or share their artwork on WEIBO, with the tag #TLN_FAC. The winning artwork will be used as the official banner for a limited time.

Touhou Luna Nights will officially be breaking onto the scene with Ver 1.0 next week February 26, on PC via Steam. Will you be digging into this action-packed Metroidvania yourself? Let us know in the comments below!

Starting out with nothing more than a Game Boy and a copy of Donkey Kong Land, Kenny has happily been gaming for almost his entire life. Easily-excitable and a bit on the chatty side, Kenny has always been eager to share gaming-related thoughts, opinions, and news with others and has been doing so on Hey Poor Player since 2014 and has previously worked with both PKMNcast and SCATcast. Although his taste in gaming spreads across a wide number of companies and consoles, Kenny holds a particular fondness for Nintendo handheld consoles. He is also very proud of his amiibo collection. You can also find him on Twitter @SuperBayleef talking about video games and general nonsense. Some of his favorite games include Tetris Attack, Pokémon Black Version 2, The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Yo-kai Watch, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Mega Man X, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (among many others).
