During Sony's most recent State of Play showcase, developer Enhance Games announced the latest installment in the Lumines series of puzzle games.

Lumines Arise introduces the brand-new "Burst" mechanic. Planned for release this fall, Enhance is currently developing for PlayStation 5 with optional PS VR2 compatibility. The Windows edition will launch via Steam, with Steam Deck compatibility in mind.

30 stages are planned for the series installment, "from lush jungles, oceans teeming with life, and snakes preparing to strike, to more electronic frontiers like the bustling streets of Tokyo and the endless expanse of outer space. All with visual flourishes to incite synesthesia."

Lumines Arise single "Only Human" by Hydelic has premiered via Bandcamp. The music group based in Japan previously scored Rez Infinite's “Area X” content and Tetris Effect soundtracks for Enhance. The announcement trailer is streaming on the developer's YouTube channel.


From the product page:
Journey through over 30 stages of synesthetic sensory wonderlands, everything from lush jungles to buzzing Tokyo streets to more surreal experiences, matching blocks and crafting insane combos with the all-new Burst mechanic. Mix it up with a variety of other single-player modes and challenges, or test your mettle against friends or strangers in online multiplayer.

Whether you’re looking to get hyped up or chill out, new to the series or a veteran, have an hour to kill or just five minutes, want to play solo, with friends, or challenge strangers, or play in optional VR or stunning 4K, Lumines Arise is the ultimate puzzle game.
