Melty Blood is a 2D fighting game, developed by TYPE-MOON and French-Bread (known as Watanabe Seisakujo prior to 2003), and is a spin-off to Tsukihime. It was featured at the international fighting game tournament Tougeki in 2006 and 2007.

It has also been adapted into a manga series, featuring art by Kirishima Takeru and serialized in the CompAce magazine, published 2005.

Melty Blood was originally released in December 2002 on the PC, with an expansion patch, Re-ACT, being released two years later in May 2004, and ReACT Final Tuned, released in July 2005. An arcade and Playstation 2 port, Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, has also been released. This arcade and Playstation 2 version then had its PC version released in July 27, 2007 with the title Melty Blood: Act Cadenza ver.B

The story of Melty Blood follows one year after Yumizuka Satsuki's non-existent route. Tohno Shiki hears of a new series of murders in Misaki similar to the one's that took place Tsukihime. Whilst searching for the murderer he meets Sion Eltnam Atlasia who initiates a fight with him, attempting to capture him. After the fight she reveals that her reason for trying to capture him is to get in contact with the "True Ancestor" (referring to Arcueid) so that she may acquire information on the "cure for vampirism". Shiki then decides to help her with this task.

The story moves through a series of fights. Depending on the outcome of the fight the story will branch in one of two ways. Ultimately this corresponds to the ending of the game.
