On May 20, 2010, G.rev released Senko no Ronde: Dis-United Order (Senko no Ronde: DUO for short) in Japan for the Xbox 360, it features many new characters, assist attacks, updated mechanics and a larger more fleshed out story mode, and the ability to save replays. Senko no Ronde: DUO was released in both a standard edition, as well as a Limited Edition version which featured special box art and contained a bonus Drama CD. The game features 14 characters, each with two cartridge variations, and 12 assist characters which can be called on briefly during battles. Shortly after launch G.Rev released ver.2.00EX update which brought back two characters from the previous game, Ernula and Sakurako. The ver.2.00EX update also allowed characters and assist to be mixed and matched, as well fixed several glitches. Game play in Senko no Ronde: DUO is known for being noticeably faster than WarTech: Senko no Ronde, but retains most of the same strategies and mechanics from previous games. The game also has a new control option called Commander Style, which lets you indirectly control the Rounder through selectable commands. Currently G.rev has yet to announce any plans for release outside Japan.

June 18, 2010, G.rev released its first DLC which includes a free story scenario as well as extra story scenarios retailing between 60MSP and 180MSP. July 29, 2010, saw release of another free story scenario, as well a collection which contains 32 songs from Senko no Ronde Rev.X which retails for 400MSP. At the end of August, G.rev halted its future DLC plans sighting that the episodic content has proved unprofitable with respect to its creation cost. G.rev apologized saying to fans saying they hope to distribute episodic content in another manner.[3]

April 26, 2011, G.Rev updated Senko no Ronde: DUO to Version 2.2, adjusting Ursure, Cuilan, Jasper, Fabian, Mika, and Ernula. The game was also added to Japan's Games on Demand service for 2,940 yen.

It is a version of Senko no Ronde DUO Ver.2.3 for NESiCAxLive, which includes score attack mode.

On G.Rev's official broadcast on March 2, 2012, Hiroyuki Maruyama announced a new game in the Senko no Ronde series is currently in the works on the PlayStation Vita. The entry will be greatly different from previous entries and may not share the Senko no Ronde name. A 2013 release is planned for the game.[4] However, no news have been heard since then, and it's considered vaporware as of today.

Touhou Genso Rondo is a Touhou Project fangame developed by the doujin circle CUBETYPE originally for Microsoft Windows. The game is completely based on the Senko no Ronde series with emphasis on bullet pattern dodging and memorization on a much more slower pace. The entire cast is now replaced with characters from the Touhou series, as well as locations of the arenas. Before the release of the PlayStation 4 version, CUBETYPE reached agreement with G.rev to license the game under their name due to G.rev owning the Senko no Ronde series.

The game was later announced as one of the Touhou fangames to receive a remastered version for the PlayStation 4 on September 1, 2014 as part of the Play, Doujin! project, which ports various doujin games to consoles to promote doujin gaming. The game was released digitally in Japan on May 11, 2015.

After a year, the game was then picked up by NIS America for localiztion to Western countries, under the title of "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet" and was released in North America and Europe on September 6, 2016 and September 9, 2016, respectively. It was the first Touhou game to be localized and released outside of Japan.

The plot of the original PC version simply revolves around the series protagonist, Reimu Hakurei, having the problem of not having any visitors to the Hakurei Shrine than she used to, thus, she flies off trying to find anything that might've caused the shortage of visitors to her shrine while beating everyone she deemed suspicious. The PlayStation 4 version gives all characters, including DLC characters, their own stories, with the story of the PC version being Reimu's story with alterations. The common theme of every story revolves on the daily lives of various Touhou characters while solving their own little problems with encounters with familiar faces that usually ends up in battle.

The game was panned and received mixed to negative reviews to critics, with the prominent flaws of the game are the lengthy in-depth tutorial, very few of single player content, the online being completely "dead" even after launch with few players rarely appearing, few characters, forgettable remixes of Touhou music themes and bland 3D backgrounds.

Senko no Ronde 2 (Japanese: 旋光の輪舞2), subtitled Reassembly from "DUO" in Japan,[5] is a reboot of Senko no Ronde DUO announced in April 2017 for release on September 6 for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. Senko no Ronde 2 is a collaboration between G.rev and Kadokawa Games under their Chara-Ani division, who previously worked together on Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours after G.rev had taken over development from Pyramid in 2016.[6] Like Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours, it will be published internationally by Degica.[7]
