Lumines Arise Has Thumping Beats To Clear Squares To

In 2018, Monstars and Enhance partnered for Tetris Effect, a gorgeous and rhythmic Tetris experience. Now, the same pairing has turned its gaze towards a new pulsing, thumping, timeline-scrolling puzzle game in Lumines Arise.

Arriving on November 11, Lumines Arise is a reinvention of the puzzle classic Lumines, where you clear a scrolling timeline by matching squares of multi-colored blocks. All of this hums underneath wave after wave of music and visuals, in the exact kind of rapturous symphony you’d expect from the makers of Tetris Effect. 

Check out our gameplay from the demo, with a surprisingly welcome S-rank for this rusty Lumines player, and look ahead to Lumines Arise on PS5 and PC via Steam on November 11, 2025.
