The next game in the Lumines series has been announced.
Lumines Arise will be released in Fall 2025 forPS5, and will also have optionalPlayStationVR2 support.
There will be a free single-player and multiplayer demo coming later this summer.
“From the creators ofTetris Effect: Connectedcomes Lumines Arise – a synesthetic fusion of sound, light, and addictive puzzle gameplay,” the game’s description reads.
“Match blocks, create combos, and feel the music in every heartbeat.”
“Life is rhythmic. It has a pulse,” directorTakashi Ishiharasaid on the PlayStation Blog. “We, as living beings, experience highs and lows. Sometimes together, other times alone.
The game features a new soundtrack by Hydelic, who composed the score for Tetris Effect: Connected. As in that game, the music goes to the beat of the gameplay.
“Games have the power to tap directly into that rhythm, stimulating all your senses to put you into a flow state. Everything around you disappears, and you fall into the game’s world. When this happens, it’s a magical feeling that can stir powerful emotions within you.
“You’re going to feel that in spades with Lumines Arise, a brand-new entry in the critically acclaimed series which began on thePlayStation Portable20 years ago (available as Lumines Remastered onPS4).
“Lumines is back, and to everyone who’s been a fan since the original, I hope you’re excited about this new chapter built from the ground up to push the synergy of audio, visuals, and gameplay beyond any previous title in the franchise.”
