Type-Moon Games has released a new character trailer for Melty Blood: Type Lumina, putting the spotlight on Kohaku as the game approaches its Nintendo Switch launch.
Melty Blood: Type Lumina is the latest entry in the long-running Melty Blood fighting game and visual novel family, tied to characters and lore from Type-Moon's Tsukihime universe.
The developer's trailer emphasizes Kohaku's personality and combat toolkit ahead of the game's September 30 release on Nintendo Switch.
The trailer shows Kohaku — one half of the twin maid duo alongside Hisui — taking on previously featured character Shiki in a brief showcase of her moves and animations.
In combat, Kohaku deploys a mix of close-quarters swordplay and unusual support attacks: she pulls a hidden blade from her broom, summons strange plant-based effects, and even drops explosive projectiles from above.
The footage underlines both her deceptive domestic appearance and her effectiveness as a playable fighter.
According to the game's official website, Kohaku and her twin sister Hisui have served the Tohno family since childhood.
The site describes Kohaku's trademark outfit as an apron layered over a traditional kimono and notes that, beyond domestic duties such as helping Akiha and tending the garden, Kohaku's pharmaceutical knowledge leaves her responsible for Shiki's care when he falls ill.
The description portrays her as perpetually cheerful and outwardly helpful, while also highlighting the mystery surrounding how she manages to wield a hidden sword and perform seemingly magical attacks in battle.
For Nintendo Switch owners, Melty Blood: Type Lumina arrives September 30.
The title's release on Switch is expected to make the game accessible to fighting-game fans on Nintendo's portable-console platform, and digital availability for Switch players will be handled through Nintendo's standard storefront channels, including the eShop.
Fans can view the new Kohaku trailer on Type-Moon Games' official channels and the game's website for additional character details and visual examples of her combos and special moves.
With launch just weeks away, the trailer is the latest in a series of previews designed to familiarize players with the roster and combat systems.
