Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 20

Lumi Master moved from a dated announcement to a live release inside three weeks. BILIBILI HK LIMITED said on August 27 that the free-to-play monster-raising RPG would arrive September 17 for iOS and Android, and on September 17 the company released it. The launch is global and includes Japan.

The two stories agree on the essentials. The game is set on the Lumia Continent, where players catch and raise creatures, and the roster runs past 100 types. Pre-registrations passed 3 million worldwide before release. Beyond that, the two accounts differ in vocabulary: the August story calls the creatures Lumi, the September story calls them Luumi. The September story lists how players obtain them (hatching eggs, capturing them in the field, completing special missions), while the August story describes an auto function that handles exploration, gathering, and battles, a speed-up function that goes up to 1000x and was adjusted after closed beta feedback, and evolutions such as Nyampachi into Nyarning and Yumenysha into multiple forms.

The September release story carries the details of what shipped: battles built on attribute compatibility and team switching, a home base for crops, mining, cooking, and buildings, guilds that fight giant world bosses, and player-to-player trading of items and Luumi. Sessions run about five minutes and the download is roughly 200 MB. BILIBILI HK positions the launch window around six planned IP collaborations and a creator payout program of up to 400,000 yen per person per month.

BILIBILI HK Launches Lumi Master Free-To-Play Mobile RPG

BILIBILI HK LIMITED released Lumi Master for iOS and Android on September 17. The game is free to play and launched globally, including Japan, at 11:00. It is a monster capture and raising RPG set on the Lumia Continent, where players collect creatures called Luumi. There are more than 100 types, each with its own attributes, skills, and evolution forms. Players get Luumi by hatching eggs, capturing them in the field, or completing special missions. Battles use attribute compatibility, and players switch team members to match enemy weaknesses. Random elements mean each run plays out differently. At a home base, players grow crops, mine, cook, and place buildings. Guilds let players cooperate against giant world bosses, and a trading system covers items and Luumi between players. The game runs vertically for one-handed play, sessions last about five minutes, and the download is roughly 200 MB. Pre-registrations passed 3 million worldwide.

Lumi Master Sets September 17 Release for iOS and Android

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.
