French Bread-developed fighting-game Melty Blood: Type Lumina has got off to a solid start, with its gameplay, unique mechanics, and solid netcode having received plenty of praise. It seems the same has been reflected in the game’s sales as well.

As of March 2022, the game has surpassed total sales of 270,000 units worldwide (via Siliconera). In contrast, during its launch weekend in Japan, the game sold around 11,600 units on the Nintendo Switch, and 18,833 units on the PlayStation 4, totaling 30,497 retail copies (excluding digital sales) for the week.

One might think the numbers are not very impressive- however, given that the fighting game series has been predominately very niche among the community, the sales numbers are certainly decent.

Earlier, the game received two free DLC characters on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.. Melty Blood: Type Lumina will also be making its EVO debut this year, having been included in the tournament’s lineup of games.

It seems Type-Moon and French Bread are not yet done with the announcements, as they recently dropped a video showcasing how their upcoming character Aoko Aozaki in Melty Blood: Type Lumina is going to play in-game. It shows how Aoko as a character is going to look and perform against the others in the roster, as a complete match is put on a show for players to check out.

The trailer dropped just days after Type-Moon announced another new character, Dead Apostle Noel joining the game. Both the character will be joining the game on January 13 and are free for owners of the game.

The trailer shows Aoko going head to head against Tohno Shiki, in what seems like the new stage the game will be getting. The video does a good job of showcasing Aoko’s battle style, who looks like a versatile character having a lot of long-range magical attacks.

Check out Aoko Aozaki in action down below.

Available for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, Melty Blood: Type Lumina is a fighting game developed by French Bread and Type-Moon, and published by DELiGHTWORKS, and is a part of the long-running Tsukihime series.

Capcom is Taking a Break from Remaking Fighting Games in HD

Capcom employee replied back to fan questions on Capcom Unity. Senior vice president Christian Svensson wrote: “New development in the form of updated versions of SF2, SF3, MvC2, MvC1, Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Puzzle Fighter etc. Sadly, I think we’ve probably run the course of feasible titles here given the droppoff we’ve seen in sales with each new introduction.

“It seems the novelty of such projects is wearing off even within just the fighting game community based upon the sales data of our last two launches. That said, we have been quite prolific in these areas (despite the assertion above that we haven’t) and it’s probably time for us to slow down anyway.”

Darkstalkers Ressurction was the most recent HD release back in March. The game included Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3. The game featured GGPO-enabled online game play and HD Graphical filtering.
