The game first launched in Japanese arcades on July 15, 2021 via Sega's APM3 system. The console version bundles two takes on it: Senxin Aleste ORIGIN, a faithful port of the arcade game with M2's convenience add-ons and the original Wallpaper Mode, and Senxin Aleste BLADE, a newly created variant built around a powerful "Blade Missile" that clears enemies and their bullets, with faster-paced gameplay and freely switchable characters.

The package also includes a Training Mode where players pick a stage and ship type to practise, new BLADE tracks by M2 Sound Team's Sakuoki Kudo and chibi-tech alongside arranged tracks by Hirokazu Koshio, giving three background music options in total, and fully voiced opening and ending sequences featuring Hana Takeda.
