Some fun news from Aniplex as they teamed up with Type-Moon this week to reveal a remake of Tsukihime is on its way next year. The news comes down to PR Times revealing that the game is currently on track to be released for the Nintendo Switch and PS4, and that it will be released sometime in the summer of 2021. However, the release is only going on in Japan for now. The official name of the game will be mentioned Tsukihime: a piece of blue glass moon, but besides that we have not really an idea whether the story in the remake will follow anything from the original, or that it will be a whole new adventure with a new character. Here is an excerpt from the PR about the last game.
Tsukihime is a bizarre visual novel released by Type-Moon in 2000. The fragile line of things – The story surrounding the main character, Shiki Tono, who has the ability to see the ‘death line’, has fascinated many people since its distribution. The “Tsukihime” will be reborn as “Tsukihime – a piece of blue glass moon” by Type Moon staff, including Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi, with new expressions retaining the remnants of the past.
We do know on the official website what the cast will include Ryousuke Kanemoto, Ikumi Hasegawa, Kaede Hondo, Shino Shimoji, en Kana Ichinose. From the little information there is, we know that the company has been testing the game until the fall of 2019, but they have not released anything to the public to try it out in the form of demos or betas. Actually, we will just wait until they give more information about us.
