LUMINES REMASTERED news & patch notes

Today (12/12) is the 21st anniversary of the original Lumines' release on the PlayStation Portable (PSP) back in 2004. We celebrated by getting Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Takashi Ishihara, Mark MacDonald, and Charles Roum on a stream to discuss the original game and Lumines Arise. If you've been a fan of the series this is a great way to walk down memory lane!

Lumines Remastered players, hello! 👋

ICYMI, we just released Lumines Arise, the first brand-new Lumines game in over a decade, on Steam. And we think you'll like it! Plus, there's a 10% launch discount for the first two weeks (ends 11/25/25).

It's got a single-player Journey mode with over 35 stages, a new approach to multiplayer (online, local, VS CPU), and a new Burst mechanic that'll boost your scores and clear your playfield.

The game is packed with content, but here are just a few things that might specifically tempt YOU as a Lumines Remastered player:

Challenges - Found in the second tab of the Missions mode, these variations on Lumines' gameplay will stretch your understanding of the classic puzzle mechanics in ways never explored in a Lumines game.

Dig Down - A brand-new, downstacking-focused mode found within the Leaderboard League of the Multiplayer Hub. This is a score-based challenge where the entire stack is raised at various milestones and you see how long you can survive. The Timeline starts to speed up as you clear Squares, too.

Weekend Loomii Live events - A 72-hour community challenge that starts on Fridays and runs through Monday. Meet a community goal by playing any mode in the Multiplayer Hub (including single-player score-chased ones) and you'll nab rewards and maybe even a special Loomii avatar part if the goal is met!

Here's a launch trailer in case you need some more reason to try it.

We hope you'll give it a shot and let us know what you think. Thanks!

It's baaaaaack! Good vibes, delivered via Steam straight to your PC or Steam Deck. That's right Lumines Remastered players, the Lumines Arise Demo is back for Steam Next Fest. You can download it right now on the Lumines Arise store page.

Please tell your friends, wishlist the game, and enjoy the three single-player stages and Burst Battle multiplayer!

Not sure how to get started with Lumines? Check out this Demo Explainer video that details everything! (Note this video was originally published when the demo first became available, so the dates mentioned don't apply but the content does!)

We'll be streaming Lumines Arise throughout the week. Follow our Twitch account to get notified when we go live.
