Melty Blood: Type Lumina Sells Over 400,000 Units Worldwide

Type-Moon and French-Bread have announced via the Japanese outlet 4Gamer that their 2D fighter Melty Blood: Type Lumina has sold over 400,000 units worldwide. Immense congratulations to the team for achieving this notable feat, which is highly impressive given this title’s niche appeal and even more niche roots.

Thanks to prominent Type-Moon community member @KaroshiMyriad for sharing this significant information.

In September 2022, the game was confirmed to have sold over 330,000 units worldwide.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina is a fighting game series that started as a doujin game back in 2002. It is developed as a collaboration between Type-Moon (Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night) and French-Bread. (Under Night In-Birth, Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax)

This newest entry in the series is based on the recent Japan-exclusive remake of Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon. As such, this title acts as a reboot for the fighting series, including HD environments and upgraded visuals reflecting the remake of the visual novel. In addition, French-Bread has also rebuilt the battle system to include multiple combos that can be pulled even by newcomers.
