On June 4, 2025, during Sony’s State of Play, Enhance Games announced Lumines Arise, the latest installment in the rhythm puzzle series. Scheduled for release in fall 2025, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, and PC via Steam.

Lumines Arise builds upon the series’ signature gameplay, where players rotate and place 2×2 blocks to form squares of a single color. A timeline sweeps across the playfield in sync with the music, clearing completed squares and adding a rhythmic challenge.

The game introduces a new “Burst” mechanic. As players match blocks, they charge a gauge. Once full, activating Burst locks a formed square in place, allowing it to grow before the timeline clears it, leading to higher scores.

Director Takashi Ishihara shared that Lumines Arise aims to evoke emotional responses through its combination of visuals, music, and gameplay. The game features over 30 stages, each with distinct themes ranging from lush jungles to the streets of Tokyo.

The soundtrack, composed by Hydelic—known for Tetris Effect: Connected—complements the game’s visuals and mechanics. Players can also customize their avatars, with the largest selection of designs in the series to date.

A demo is planned for release later this summer, offering players a preview of the game’s features.

Lumines Arise marks the series’ return, aiming to deliver a fresh yet familiar experience for both new players and longtime fans.
