Melty Blood
The game began development in 2010. Nobuya Narita discussed how it arose from the team's experiences working on "Melty Blood". French-Bread originally planned to work on the high-definition title for the game, but development later stalled while Type-Moon went on to work on "Mahōtsukai no Yoru". Early prototypes provided the foundation for the game. Narita emphasized they wanted to differentiate the game from "Melty Blood", so the lore, visuals, systems and combat flow are much different from the previous work. It marked the team's first game using high definition and features hand-drawn high-resolution sprites. In March 2013, Sega added support for its "ALL.Net P-ras Multi" service, a distribution network that allows multiple arcade owners to receive copies of the game without providing a dedicated arcade cabinet for each copy. Other games that utilize this service include Arc System Works' "Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R" and Triangle Service's Game Center Love. A decade later in 2021, thanks to Sion's inclusion in "Under Night", the inclusion of said French Bread's original game series in "BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle" and Evo 2019’s main tournament event, the untitled "Melty Blood HD" remake was announced as a prequel reboot game title to 2021 remake of "Tsukihime", "".
