KAZUMA KANEKO'S TSUKUYOMI Steam Version Launches July 24

Colopl announced on June 24 that the PC version of KAZUMA KANEKO'S TSUKUYOMI, a deck-building roguelike by game creator Kazuma Kaneko, will launch on Steam on July 24. The standard edition costs 3,960 yen, and a Special Digital Deluxe Edition including the base game and two DLC packs will sell for 5,960 yen. The game was previously released for Nintendo Switch on April 23, 2026. It is set in a modern dark fantasy world where players climb a demon-infested tower called The Hashira in Tokyo Bay, using a three-card hand to battle Shinma (gods and demons). Five playable characters with distinct battle styles are available. The Steam version supports English and Japanese audio and text in English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Korean. On the same day, DLC Vol. 2, Painter K's Divine Brush: Truth Manifestation Set - Part 2, will launch for both Switch and Steam, adding five Creation Cards: Arianrod, Raphael, Banshee, Apollo, and Satan. The original free-to-play mobile and PC game, TSUKUYOMI - The Divine Hunters, ended service on April 22, 2026, and used generative AI for card art; the Switch and Steam versions do not use AI for new card creation.

Kazuma Kaneko, known for his character and world designs on the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, left Atlus in 2023 and joined Colopl. TSUKUYOMI is his first original project at the company, handling original concept, world setting, and character design. The game is a deck-building tower dungeon set in the year 20XX in Tokyo Bay's super high-rise complex The Hashira, which has been cut off from the outside and overrun by Shinma. Players become agents of a national defense organization called Tsukuyomi and must conquer the tower. The hand limit is always three cards, and players must predict enemy movements to decide whether to use Shinma cards for attack or defense. A Creation Card system records player choices during exploration, allowing reacquisition in later runs even after defeat. The Nintendo Switch version launched in April 2026 and features a new character, expanded story, updated UI, rebalanced gameplay, and new card art from Kaneko. The original mobile and PC game, TSUKUYOMI - The Divine Hunters, ended service on April 22, 2026, and used a generative AI model trained on Kaneko's works to generate art; the Switch and Steam versions do not use AI for new card creation. The Steam version's DLC Vol. 2 includes five Creation Cards: Arianrod, Raphael, Banshee, Apollo, and Satan, priced at 1,320 yen. DLC Vol. 1 will also be available on Steam on launch day. The Special Digital Deluxe Edition bundles both DLCs with the base game.
