It is a 2D fighting game based on TYPE-MOON’s Tsukihime games and is part of the Tsukihime Remake series. Initially, it was supposed to be a straight-up remake of the original Melty Blood game, but we all know how TYPE-MOON can get carried away.

The game now is original but still loosely follows the original Tsukihime story. The story takes place ten days before the events of Tsukihime: A piece of blue glass moon.

It has an initial lineup of 14 characters, one of which you might recognize.

Fate/stay night’s Saber/ Artoria Pendragon will be one of the playable characters in TYPE-MOON’s Melty Blood: Type Lumina 2D game.

The version of Arcueid featured in the video is known as Red Arcueid, which is based on the design from the original 2000 visual novel.
