Joining the punch party April 14
Y’all ever notice how it’s the fellasthat need the moneythe mostthat give awayDLCthe cheapest? Case in point, Project Lumina’s niche anime fighterMelty Blood: Type Lumina, which will be receiving two additional new characters, free to all players, on April 14 as part of the fighter’s next update.
The pugilists in question arePowered Ciel, an incredibly dangerous, damaging, armored variant ofMelty Blood‘s domineering demon hunter, andMario Gallo Bestino, who forgoes strength and power for speedy mixups, with his actions boosted by the presence of The Sisters of The Holy Church, whom Mario can utilize at will in order to confuse his opponents in battle.
While Mario will be looking to make his presence felt in hisMelty Bloodvideo game debut, Powered Ciel’s reputation as a hardy opponent precedes her, with the character afforded further polish with a new character model and some smart new animations for her devastating array of attacks.
In addition to the arrival of Powered Ciel and Mario Gallo Bestino, the new update will include two new battlegrounds. These include the desolated cityscape “Battle at the Threshold”, and the rooftop rumblin’ “Actions in the Lower World.” Both stages will also come loaded for bear with brand new themes. If that wasn’t enough, then five new color variants will be joining the wardrobes of the entire roster.
In regards to paid DLC, Powered Ciel and Mario GalloBestinocan be purchased as alternate announcers for around $3 each. It’s not a high price to ask, and given the above free content, it would be rad for the community to chuck Project Lumina an extra few bucks for its trouble.
For the competitive among you,Melty Blood: Type Luminawill be holding a North American tournament later in 2022, with details to follow in the coming months. All in all, it’s a pretty big week for theMelty Bloodfaithful, who will assuredly be grateful for the DLC content and dev support.
Melty Blood: Type Luminais available now on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
