One of the biggest surprises from Summer Game Fest earlier this year was Lumines Arise, a Tetris Effect-style psychedelic puzzle and rhythm game from Enhance–developers of Tetris Effect Connected. Today, Enhance has announced that Lumines Arise will drop its puzzler beats on consoles and PC November 11–and that a demo is available now on Steam and the PlayStation Store.
Lumines Arise is a reimagining of the classic puzzle series Lumines, which was developed by Q Entertainment and first released in 2004 for the PSP. Each Lumines session sees players drop 2×2 blocks–which are made up of smaller squares in two different colors–onto a playing area, and by doing so, they will create larger blocks in order to score points.

A demo for Lumines Arise is available starting today on both PlayStation Network and Steam, and it will feature the first three stages of the single-player Journey mode, as well as a new multiplayer mode called Burst Battle. The demo will only be available to download for one week, as it is set to leave both marketplaces on September 3.
Preorders for Lumines Arise are also available now, in both Standard and Digital Deluxe editions–with PlayStation Plus subscribers receiving an extra 10 percent off by preordering on the PlayStation Store. The Digital Deluxe Edition will give players four additional avatars themed after Humanity, Tetris Effect Connected, Astro Bot, and Rez Infinite.
The new Lumines joins a packed November launch lineup that includes Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Kirby Air Riders, and the recently delayed indie RPG Demonschool. October, meanwhile, is shaping up to be the busiest month of the entire year, with Ghost of Yotei, Borderlands 4, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, and Battlefield 6 all launching in its first 10 days–while Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4, and The Outer World 2 are all set for the second half of the month.
Lumines Arise launches November 11 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
