Melty Blood Twi-Lumina returns with new features
According to the official description, the game promises refined mechanics and more strategic options in battles. The story continues to explore conflicts within a dream world, maintaining a connection to the universe of Tsukihime, a classic work by Type-Moon.
The project brings together well-known names, with Kinoko Nasu responsible for the original work, while the French Bread studio leads the development. Publishing will be handled by Aniplex and Aniplex of America.
Based on the Tsukihime universe
Like its predecessor, released in 2021, the new game is based on the remake Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, featuring characters such as Shiki Tohno, Arcueid Brunestud, and Ciel. Each fighter has variations in color and their own backstory.
In addition, the franchise also expanded its content with the spin-off manga Melty Blood: Type Lumina Piece in Paradise, published between 2022 and December 2023.
With its release still some time away, the new project reinforces the series' continuity within fighting games. For more anime, follow AnimeNews and stay up-to-date on upcoming seasons and releases in the otaku universe.
