Three more mainline Touhou games are set to be released on Steam. Soon, people will be able to play Mountain of Faith (10), Subterranean Animism (11), and Undefined Fantastic Object (12). The three games will all be released on June 6, 2020. [Thanks, @SarahSSowertty!]
Touhou: Mountain of Faith was originally released in 2007, and it is something of a soft Touhou game series reboot that stars only Reimu and Marisa as playable characters. The Hakurei Shrine is on the verge of shutting down due to a lack of faith, and the two heroines go out to investigate just what’s going on.

Subterranean Animism is set after Mountain of Faith and once again only features Reimu and Marisa. One day, a geyser erupts near the Hakurei Shrine, creating a hot spring where both humans and yokai are able to rest and relax. However, the geyser also released many earth spirits, and Reimu heads to the Underworld to find out just what’s going on.
The game features a “grazing” mechanic, which is essential for survival, similar to ones found in other shoot’em up series like the Psyvariar games. By grazing bullets, you can automatically collect items and focus on dodging the next oncoming bullets\.

Undefined Fantastic Object released in 2009 originally and features Sanae as a playable character alongside Reimu and Marisa. One day, a UFO is spotted in the sky during early spring, and the player character goes off to investigate it. The main mechanic of this game revolves around UFO pieces that drop from defeated enemies, which can have different effects depending on the color.

Touhou: Mountain of Faith, Subterranean Animism, and Undefined Fantastic Object will all be released on PC via Steam on June 6, 2020. Two other Touhou games, Double Spoiler and Fairy Wars, were released onto Steam in July 2019.
