TWI-LUMINA is not a sequel, but a complete renewal of 2021&#8217;s MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA, featuring a brand-new story written by Kinoko Nasu, redesigned characters by artist Takashi Takeuchi, and an overhauled battle system that developers FRENCH-BREAD say pushes the competitive depth of the series further than TYPE LUMINA did.<\/p>\n<p>The game was first announced at EVO Japan 2026 in May, where publisher Aniplex unveiled a teaser alongside sweeping key art of returning fan-favourite Len \u2014 accompanied by the tagline, <a href=\"https:\/\/meltyblood.twilumina-en.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;A tale of conflict stirs once again within a dream.&#8221;<\/a> FRENCH-BREAD, who has handled every Melty Blood entry since the original PC game, remains the developer.<\/p>\n<h2>Characters Confirmed: Shiki Tohno and Len Make Their Return<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mbtl-twi-lumina-shiki-len-ax2026.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"New character visuals for Shiki Tohno and Len revealed at Anime Expo 2026 for MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of TYPE-MOON \/ Aniplex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At Anime Expo 2026 earlier this month, TYPE-MOON and Aniplex unveiled character visuals for two confirmed roster members. <strong>Shiki Tohno<\/strong>, voiced by Ryosuke Kanemoto, returns as the lead \u2014 his redesign here puts him in a casual school jacket, a contrast to the more combat-ready looks of past entries. <strong>Len<\/strong>, voiced by Kaori Ishihara, also makes her return \u2014 her absence from TYPE LUMINA was one of the community&#8217;s loudest complaints, so seeing her back (and featured front-and-centre in the key art) signals that TWI-LUMINA is leaning hard into its <em>Tsukihime<\/em> roots.<\/p>\n<p>Also confirmed is <strong>Black Len<\/strong>, a darker counterpart character who did not appear in TYPE LUMINA, suggesting the story is venturing further into the dreamworld lore that defines the <em>Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon<\/em> universe. Full roster details have not been announced.<\/p>\n<h2>Platforms, Languages and Release Window<\/h2>\n<p>MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA is confirmed for <strong>PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC via Steam<\/strong>, with a launch window of <strong>Early 2027<\/strong>.

Text language support covers English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese \u2014 voice acting will be Japanese-only, which is the series standard.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-region simultaneous release on PS5 and Switch 2 means Singapore players will not be waiting behind other markets.
