NEW SOUNDTRACK SINGLE BY HYDELIC - DREAMLAND
After the success of the first Lumines Arise single "Only Human,” Hydelic is back with a second soundtrack single “Dreamland” from the Summer Game Fest fan-favorite Chameleon Groove stage. Listen to it now on Bandcamp, or stream it via your favorite music service soon.
Key Features:
- Simple Gameplay, Tons of Depth: Lumines Arise is easy to pick up and play, but has incredible depth that’s harder to master. Players manipulate 2x2 blocks of two colors that fall from the top of the screen, aiming to create Squares of a single color/type. A Timeline sweeps across the playfield to the beat of the music, clearing completed Squares and generating points.
- Embark On A Journey: Every stop on the over 30-stage single-player journey evokes a different and complex emotional response. From lush jungles, oceans teeming with life and snakes preparing to strike, to more electronic frontiers like the bustling streets of Tokyo and the endless expanse of outer space.
- Ready To Burst: Trigger the new Burst mechanic to stop a matched Square from clearing. Build it as large as you can until time runs out. When the Timeline starts clearing again, enjoy the show as screen-clearing combos rack up massive points.
- Put Yourself Out There: Customize your player avatar from the largest selection of options the series has ever offered. It’s a great way to express yourself and your personality when setting off on your in-game journey.
- Plug In, Vibe Out: Let the electrifying soundtrack by Hydelic, acclaimed composer of Tetris Effect: Connected and Rez Infinite’s Area X, take you to new depths of immersion. You’ll want to throw on a pair of your favorite headphones for maximum effectiveness. Use the Playlist feature to create a mix of stages with your favorite tracks or to set a specific mood.
Lumines Arise is coming to PS5 with optional PS VR2 support and PC (Steam) with optional PC VR support on November 11, 2025.
