M2 has announced it will be working on a new shmup with Compile Heart. The news was revealed alongside a bunch of other 2025 projects from Compile Heart, including Todokero! Tatakae! Calamity Angels, Beautiful Girls x Book World x 2D Action Game and a “full-scale” third-person shooter. This will be fully revealed in the January 30th issue of Weekly Famitsu.
For the shmup, the main ship is called Fantas, and will be designed by Toshiaki Takayama, who has previously worked on the Duel Masters Trading Card Game.
M2 has done excellent work with shmups including its excellent M2 ShotTriggers series, so it will be neat to see what comes of this.
