The popular puzzle game Lumines Arise, which boasts a style reminiscent of Tetris Effect and originally shone on the PSP, is now set to launch on PlayStation 5, marking its official release date.
The trippy falling-block puzzle game announced in June will be available on Sony’s console with complete PSVR2 support starting on November 11, 2025.
Not only did developer Enhance announce the game’s release date, but they also revealed and made accessible a playable demo right away, allowing you to start playing it immediately.
The demonstration will run from August 26th at 6am PDT, which is equivalent to 9am EDT or 2pm BST, up until September 3rd, 11:59pm (in your respective time zones). This means it will be active for a week before concluding.
The Lumines Arise demo features singleplayer and multiplayer modes.
Lone gamers get to play through three stages within the game’s storyline, Journey mode. The complete version includes more than 35 distinct challenges, structurally reminiscent of Tetris Effect’s Journey mode.
In simpler terms, the initial version of the game is designed for beginners with an easy setting, while experienced players can expect a wider range of challenge levels in the complete version.
In the latest version of Lumines, there’s an entirely fresh multiplayer feature named Burst Battle. This is a head-to-head competitive setting where players aim to eliminate the maximum number of blocks using the game’s newly introduced Burst mechanism.
Performing this action causes debris to accumulate along the edges of your opponent’s grid, gradually reducing their play area. You can get rid of the debris by removing nearby blocks.
During the demonstration, there’ll be an exclusive Loomii-Live event taking place over the weekend. By engaging in Burst Battle matches, participants can collectively build up a shared tally of Light, which is essential for achieving a collective objective within our community.
In the complete version of the game, finishing these real-time events awards players additional customization choices for their Loomii.
In simpler terms, during gameplay, your on-screen character – known as a Loomii – can be personalized, and additional characters can be acquired through the use of the Burst feature.
Unfortunately you can’t play the VR version in the demo.
In addition to everything else, the music studio, Enhance, has unveiled a new track titled “Dreamland” by Hydelic, which is now accessible on Bandcamp and various streaming platforms.
As a gaming enthusiast, I am thrilled about all the recent Lumines updates! I can hardly contain my excitement to jump into the demo and the full game isn’t far from release either. Are you planning to give Lumines Arise a spin too? Let us know in the comments section below!
