Fantasy Maiden Wars: Dream of the Stray Dreamer finally launching on Nintendo Switch in 2025, English confirmed

The Touhou Nintendo Switch news just keeps coming in, and now we know that Fantasy Maiden Wars: Dream of the Stray Dreamer will be released on the platform in English. Fans will be able to grab it in 2025.

Fantasy Maiden Wars: Dream of the Stray Dreamer is a fantasy tactical RPG in which players command over 70 characters across grid-based battles. We’ve been waiting a long time for this one as it was unveiled way back in 2021 as Gensou Shoujo Wars.

Here’s a bunch of additional details:

Fantasy Maiden Wars is a classic tactical RPG where you command a diverse cast of characters and battle your way through stage-based missions.

Set in Gensokyo, a world where humans, youkai, and gods coexist, you’ll team up with over 70 unique allies to confront a series of supernatural incidents shaking the land.

Deploy your units across grid-based maps, take down enemies with strategic positioning and turn-based tactics, and clear stages to progress the story.

Multiple difficulty levels and a full-featured tutorial system make this a perfect entry point for players new to the genre—while offering plenty of depth for veterans.

Engage in beautifully animated battles whenever characters clash. From sword slashes and gunfire to devastating Spell Card finishers, every attack is brought to life with flair.

Watch your favorite characters unleash flashy moves in the rich, vibrant world of Gensokyo.

Customize your squad between missions in the Intermission screen—equip gear, assign skills, and build the dream team your way.

Each character has unique traits and signature abilities, opening the door to countless team compositions and strategies. Go all-in on your favorites or hunt down the most broken combos—how you play is up to you.

Choose between shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei or magician Marisa Kirisame as your protagonist—your choice will impact parts of the story.

The game weaves together reinterpretations of storylines from across the Touhou Project series, uniting them into a single, epic narrative arc for both newcomers and longtime fans.

Beyond the gameplay, enjoy a rich selection of bonus content:

• A detailed character and terminology encyclopedia that introduces the world of Touhou
• A massive music room with over 200 tracks from the game
