Introduction
Welcome to the 23rd iteration of the Touhou Lostword Dev Letter! For its 2nd year anniversary, we've certainly come a long way from old event stages, struggles to clear the Yukari stage in 1-5-4, and the like. Let's take a look back and see a glimpse of how far this game has gone from old to new.

Story
Fantasy Rebirth
Hatate, Momiji, and Aya get their Fantasy Rebirths on May 26th. Afterwards, the Aki sisters get their Fantasy Rebirth on June 9th. Additionally, The B3 Lunar War characters will get their Fantasy Rebirths on various dates. Reimu and Marisa will get theirs on May 19th, Sanae and Reisen will get theirs on May 26th, and Sakuya and Gardener will get their Fantasy Rebirth on June 2nd.
Events
A new event, The Secret God Games, will come on May 11th! With a relic doll in the Rare Points shop, past costumes in exchange, and more Spirit Points to boot, there are also more costumes for characters like Momoyo, Wriggle, Eternity, Yamame, Youmu, and Sakuya.
A story card travelogue, which provides story cards, will be released! These cards come from the Pixiv illustration contest that was held in 2020, so do enjoy the cool artwork that these artists have made for the game.
Banners
A rotation banner for both Relics and Epics will be done, with units rotating every 48 hours each. A great opportunity for people to get characters which they have previously missed.
Remilia shows her fangs in a holiday mood, as she dons a swimsuit! As a Defense character, she can negate all damage taken from Youkai, as well as the introduction to a new mechanic: Rank II buffs.
Coming alongside her sister is Flandre, who also dons a swimsuit! With Yin DEF down rank II debuffs, Flandre can easily break enemy barriers with Freeze inflicts, as well as powerful debuffs to boot.
Divergent Spirit
VS E1 Meiling comes and introduces a new card: Summer Rocket. A 65% boost to Fire Missile bullets allows C3 Remilia to deal some good damage, while the party 2 barriers can come in very handy when it comes to more challenging content.
VS L1 Remilia comes with a vengeance and a new card: Divergent Spirits EX. With a 90% boost to Water and Liquid attacks, friends like C3 Yukari Yakumo and C3 Flandre Scarlet can benefit heavily, with Flandre benefitting heavily as she also gets the extra ATK up that the card can provide.
