Kaneko serves as creative director and character concept lead, but the card art is AI-generated under his supervision rather than drawn in his signature hand. Singapore players who care about this should factor it in; those here for the SMT-adjacent tactics and the DMC5 collab will find the systems hard to resist either way.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Find It<\/h2>\n<p>KAZUMA KANEKO&#8217;S TSUKUYOMI launches on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4677110\/KAZUMA_KANEKOS_TSUKUYOMI\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a> on 24 July 2026.
