ComiPress has word that Type-Moon has announced their newest game project: Mahoutsukai no Yoru - Witch on a Holy Night. It’ll be based on an unpublished story by co-founder Kinoko Nasu, who wrote pretty much all of Type-Moon’s popular games as well as the Kara no Kyoukai novels.
Akiba-CH has more on the story’s plot: the main heroine is actually a character seen in both Tsukihime and Melty Blood, Aoko Aozaki, the descendent of a mage family. She is witnessed using her magic by a country bumpkin who comes to believe that all urbanites have such powers; since she isn’t supposed to let anyone see her powers, Aoko is convinced that she has to kill him…except instead they wind up all living together in a mansion with Alice Kuonji, a school mate and fellow mage of Aoko’s.
More info will come available on April 21st. And an anime adaptation? Yeah, probably eventually.

Or if it was, it’s still going and Moon Phase has fallen for it– they link to a post on Key’s blog labeled Maji desu yo! (”It’s true!”).
I am, of course, talking about Key’s announcement of their newest game, titled Rewrite. So to those of you who commented on it saying “SUCH a freakin’ hoax,” HA, I say. HA!
No, no, not the Fullmetal Alchemist ED theme– visual novel developer Key’s newest game is, according to Canned Dogs, going to be titled Rewrite– assuming that this isn’t a prank. (CD isn’t quite sure, because the scenario writing staff is phenomenal (plus it’s April Fool’s Day in Japan): Higurashi writer Ryuukishi07 in particular is noteworthy). It’s unclear if the game will be ero or not.
I’m mostly letting you know because odds are good KyoAni will develop it into an anime eventually, and then I’ll sit here complaining about how everyone looks and sounds like a ten-year-old. You know, the usual.
