Pocky & Rocky Reshrined is a 2022 scrolling shooter video game developed by Natsume Atari's Tengo Project. The game involves the player controlling one of a few characters in a top-down perspective where they continue through stages avoiding enemies and their bullets to battle the respective boss character. The game starts out as a retread of the story in Pocky & Rocky (1992) about the shrine maiden Pocky and her friend Rocky the raccoon, but changes dramatically a few stages in.
The game was announced in 2020 and was developed by Tengo Project, a team led by three developers who worked on the 1992 game. Pocky & Rocky Reshrined was released April 21, 2022 in Japan, and had exceeded sales of 100,000 by July 14, 2022.
