posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Good Smile Company and NextNinja announced last Friday that they are developing the Touhou LostWord smartphone RPG based on ZUN's Touhou franchise. The game is officially licensed but not canon to the Touhou universe (ZUN freely allows the development of derivative Touhou works). The game is currently slated to launch only in Japan.
The companies previously announced that they were developing a smartphone game tentatively titled "LostWord" earlier this month.

Crunchyroll announced in May that it is co-publishing the Grand Summoners game in partnership with Good Smile Company and NextNinja.
