First English Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- trailer posted, Shiki introduced
Just shy of two months after its initial reveal at Anime Expo 2023, Aniplex has begun promoting the upcoming English-language port of Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. The company uploaded the game's first English-language trailer to the official Aniplex USA YouTube channel, as well as opening the game's official English website.
Check out the trailer below:
The nearly 5-minute trailer itself focuses on the game's text and storytelling, before briefly introducing the main cast and playing the animated opening.
Tsukihime - A piece of blue glass moon- is the first part of a two-part remake of 2000's Tsukihime, a legendary visual novel and the breakout work of Fate franchise developer Type-Moon. The story stars a young man named Shiki Tohno, who one day acquired the ability to see "death lines" across all things and people. Summoned to his family home after years away, he is drawn into a supernatural world after encounters with beings like vampire Arcueid Brunestud, his upperclassman Ciel, and his stepsister Akiha. The characters of Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- also appear in the fighting game Melty Blood: Type Lumina, which has its own storyline tangentially related to Tsukihime proper.
Aniplex also posted a character introduction for Shiki Tohno:
Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- will arrive in English on Switch and PS4 sometime in 2024. The Japanese edition is available now. Those interested in more Type-Moon visual novels may consider Witch on the Holy Night, an enhanced, localized port of Type-Moon's Mahoutsukai no Yoru. It stars characters who appear in Tsukihime.
