Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, remake of Tsukihime, gets Japanese release date and details
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, a remake of Tsukihime that was first announced at the very end of 2020, has secured a release date. The latest issue of Type-Moon Ace reveals that it will launch on August 26 in Japan.
Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon will feature completely rewritten text with the volume of each route having been more than doubled. There’s also now the inclusion of a “Arcueid Route” and “Ciel Route” double heroine system. A Piece of Blue Glass Moon will only contain routes for heroines Arcueid and Ciel, which is less than the original, but the ones not included here will appear another time, in “another Tsukihime” that depicts “the other side of the moon.”
Gematsu has the following summaries of Arcueid and Ciel’s routes:
Arcueid Route: Moon Princess
Shiki Tohno is a high school student left in the care of a distant relative after an accident seven years ago. After his father dies, he is called back to his prestigious family home, and his everyday life begins anew in the large estate. However, there were some unsettling signs. One day, while feeling lightheaded, he passes by a woman. His encounter with the woman, who calls herself Arcueid, gets him involved in a battle beyond human comprehension by inhuman “Vampires.”
Ciel Route: Rainbow of the Night
After an unexpected train ride, Shiki quickly becomes close with Ciel, a popular, older student at his high school. With his best friend Arihiko Inui and new teacher Noel, he had a busy, dream-like everyday life. However, that did not last long. The urge to kill suddenly came to boil. And the tragedy he caused drags him to the depths of despair. Offering an umbrella and warm words, it was Ciel who saved Shiki’s soul.
