J-Anime Style Arrives in Moonlight Peaks Launch Patch

On June 1, 2026, Clouded Leopard Entertainment announced J-Anime Style for Moonlight Peaks on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 — a toggle that replaces standard dialogue portraits with anime-inspired illustrations by renowned Japanese artists. The feature shipped via launch-day update patch on July 7–9 depending on region.

How to enable J-Anime Style

1. Install the latest game patch from Nintendo eShop or in-game update prompt.
2. Open Settings.
3. Go to the Gameplay tab.
4. Under Portrait Style, select option 2 for J-Anime Style.

Step-by-step also on the controls page. Standard portraits remain available as option 1 if you prefer the original gothic art direction.

Featured artists

Clouded Leopard commissioned new portrait art from Japanese illustrators including Oguchi and T-TRACK, specialists in character design for anime-adjacent properties. Portraits cover romanceable residents, town NPCs, and animal companions during dialogue scenes — not overworld sprites.

Physical edition bonuses (Asia)

First-run Switch package editions in Japan and select Asian markets include an original can mirror and the Runaway Support Pack DLC with consumables and decorations. Pricing details vary — see price page for Western digital equivalents.

Platform availability

J-Anime Style was marketed heavily for Clouded Leopard's Switch distribution. Steam and Western XSEED builds may or may not include the toggle — check your options menu after patching. Report findings on our platforms guide as players confirm.
