Lumi Master opens pre-registration ahead of its 2026 global release, introducing a storybook-style monster-collection game with trading and home management. Here’s a look at its systems and pre-registration campaign.
Lumi Master Confirms 2026 Global Release
Pre-Registration Now Live on Their Site
Lumi Master is set for a global launch in 2026, with pre-registrations now open following an announcement from Bilibili Games on April 23. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer on the game's official YouTube channel.
In celebration of its upcoming global launch, a milestone campaign is now underway. Players can receive rewards for pre-registering. As of writing, 19,253 players have registered. The rewards for each milestone include the following:
● Pre-registering – Avatar Frame (Choose 1 of 3)
● 200,000 Pre-registrations – Energy x200
● 400,000 Pre-registrations – Zapp-up Gold Lumi
● 600,000 Pre-registrations – Sacred Ruins Decoration
● 1,000,000 Pre-registrations – Rainbow Egg
At 1 million registrations, players will have a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2, even though the game itself has not been confirmed for release on the platform.
The game, though, launched in select regions—the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines—on the same day as the announcement: April 23. Interested players in those regions can download the free-to-play game via the App Store and Google Play.
A Cozy Take on Monster Collection
The announcement trailer showcases its hand-drawn, storybook-inspired visual style, where players explore regions such as forests, deserts, snowy areas, and volcanic landscapes while encountering creatures known as Lumis.
Over 100 Lumis will be featured, each with its own growth and evolution path. Players will be able to capture Lumis using cards through "intuitive capture mechanics and high encounter rates," making collection more efficient and "stress-free," and raise them over time through "simple, accessible progression with no excessive grinding required."
A compendium, which serves as an in-game collection tracker, will record discovered Lumis, reward exploration, and unlock rare and shiny variants. Lumis can also be traded globally, so players can exchange them and complete their collections with others around the world.
In addition, the game will include a home management system, which will allow players to build and manage their own space while raising and collecting Lumis. Casual mini-games such as whack-a-mole and cake-sharing modes will be available as well. The announcement trailer also shows building and farming, though further details have not been specified.
Multiplayer battles will also be included, "focusing on elemental counters and team synergy," meaning players will need to consider how different Lumis interact and work together in a team. These encounters, as described by the developers, are designed to be fast-paced "without complex combos or pay-to-win stat gaps."
Ultimately, Lumi Master delivers a "relaxed and charming monster-collection experience that blends exploration, companionship, and light strategy," leaning into a more laid-back take on the monster-collection genre.
