A Fighting Game Rooted in TYPE-MOON's Fantasy World
The Melty Blood series began on PC in 2002 and draws from TYPE-MOON's visual novel Tsukihime. TWI-LUMINA is set in the world of Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, continuing the story from the previous 2021 entry. The game's narrative is written by Kinoko Nasu, the creator behind the entire Tsukihime universe.
New Combat Features and Expanded Character Roster
GamersHeroes reported TWI-LUMINA introduces refined battle mechanics alongside returning favorites. New Act and Duel control styles give players flexibility in how they approach fights. The Rapid Beat combo system has been expanded with additional routes, allowing for deeper offensive strategies than the previous version.
The standout new feature is the Gauntlet attack, powered by the Lumina gauge. White Len joins the cast with new character art, voiced by Kaori Ishihara. Ryosuke Kanemoto returns to voice Shiki Tohno. AniTrendz highlighted Len's gameplay reveal in the launch trailer, showcasing updated animations across the entire roster.
Global Release With Localization Support
The game will reach players worldwide with text support in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. However, Newsy Today noted that voice acting will remain exclusively in Japanese, maintaining the original audio experience for all regions.
Both PlayStation and Nintendo's latest hardware are included — PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 will all receive the game. PC players can access it via Steam. The multi-platform approach ensures fighting game fans on any system can participate in online tournaments and local multiplayer matches.
