Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 20

BILIBILI HK LIMITED announced Lumi Master on August 27 and released it three weeks later, on September 17, for iOS and Android. The game is free to play and launched globally, including Japan, at 11:00. Pre-registrations passed 3 million worldwide, and the announcement campaign offered pre-registrants a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 plus in-game items like the Rainbow Lumi Egg and stamina after launch. Major updates are planned every two months post-release.

The game is a monster capture and raising RPG set on the Lumia Continent, where players collect creatures called Lumi or Luumi, with over 100 types carrying their own attributes, skills, and evolution forms. Players get them by hatching eggs, capturing them in the field, or completing special missions. Battles use attribute compatibility and team switching against enemy weaknesses, with random elements changing each run. A home base supports growing crops, mining, cooking, and building placement; guilds cooperate against giant world bosses, and a trading system covers items and creatures between players.

Between announcement and release, the design emphasis on short, low-burden sessions carried through. The game runs vertically for one-handed play with an auto function handling exploration, gathering, and battles, and a speed-up function supports up to 1000x speed, adjusted after player requests during the closed beta test. Raising creatures leads to evolutions, including Nyampachi into dual-blade-wielding Nyarning and Yumenysha into multiple forms. Sessions last about five minutes, and the download is roughly 200 MB.
