Developer Type-Moon closed out its panel at the 2023 Anime Expo with a bombshell announcement: Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, the remake of the legendary visual novel Tsukihime, will receive an English-language release for the first time. The release is scheduled for sometime in 2024 on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. 

 

The original release of Tsukihime in 2000 was the breakout project of Type-Moon co-founders Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi. Its story is set in Tokyo in the 2010s and focuses on Shiki Tohno, a high-schooler who, after a mortal injury, gained the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception". Enabled by the Mystic Eyes to see "lines of death", Shiki can destroy the objects - and beings - he sees by tracing their lines with a sharp object. Shiki also encounters various people and supernatural beings, including Arcueid Brunestud, a beautiful vampire, Ciel, his mysterious upperclassman, and others of the Tohno family.

 

Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- is the first part of a two-part remake of the original. It was announced in 2008 and released in 2021 for PS4 and Switch in Japan. The remake involves a new voice cast, new character designs, new characters, and updates to the story. The 2021 release covers the first two story routes of the original's five - Aruceid's route called “Moon Princess” and Ciel's route called “Rainbow of Night”.

YAAAASSSS! I guess the Witch VN sold enough to justify this? ?

I still have to play through Mahoyo, but I'll be buying the collector's edition of this one as well. I expect we'll see the release happen before July because Arcueid is the featured servant for FGO NA's 7th anniversary, so they'd probably release her prior to that to build up hype.

Oh my God

 

I play'ed the Remake last Year and its one Hell of a Good Game.

 

They stay realy close to the Original / Anime Adaptation. The Gore and Horror Factor in thos one was very high, i understand the Zero Z Rating in Japan.

I will this highly link in my melty Blood Type Lumina Guide if it gots a western release. The Fighting Game's Story will be taken in the First Half of the Game, so you can freely play it,

without any Spoilers.

 

The Game also announced a second Part. I put this in a Spoiler just to be sure:

Spoiler

Second Part will cover the Akiha, Hisui & Kohaku Route / Story's, wich was not Part in the Remake. They also will like add another Arcueid Route from the Fighting Game

It's nice to see this finally come westward. Hopefully the second part is also localised here when that's completed.

 

And of course, here's also hoping it gets a physical release with English language support.

We have at least a roughly release date, very excited for this but i don't expect to see a physical edition outside of Japan.

Since the Gematsu article doesn't mention it: The physical release includes a copy of the game, a special material book called “Tsukihime MaterialⅠ-material of blue glass moon-“, and a collector's box. Pre-orders are already available in North America -> https://linktr.ee/tsukihime

 

(Europe probably gets the short end of the stick again)
