BILIBILI HK LIMITED announced on August 27 that Lumi Master, a free-to-play monster-raising RPG, will officially release on September 17 for iOS and Android. The game, set on the Lumia Continent, lets players catch and train creatures called Lumi, with over 100 types available. Gameplay uses a vertical screen for one-handed taps, and an auto function lets Lumi handle exploration, gathering, and battles. A speed-up function supports up to 1000x speed, adjusted after player requests during the closed beta test. Raising Lumi leads to evolutions; examples include Nyampachi evolving into dual-blade-wielding Nyarning, and Yumenysha changing into multiple forms. Players can also trade items and Lumi at an exchange, team up for ranking battles at Adventurer's Square, and earn resources at home even while logged out. Global pre-registrations have surpassed 3 million. A campaign offers pre-registrants a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 and in-game items like Rainbow Lumi Egg and stamina after launch. Major updates are planned every two months post-release.
