The artbook for Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon will be censored in the limited physical release of the game.
According to the official English Twitter account for the game, the art book will be censored due to “differing platform publishing policies”, with the content censored in order to be available on PlayStation.

It’s worth mentioning and emphasizing that the Nintendo Switch version of the game will include an uncensored artbook. While it’s true that the actual game will allegedly be uncensored on PlayStation, Sony has compelled other developers to push through censorship at the last minute. Though it seems Sony’s content policies extend beyond the scope of the game itself now, and even special edition goodies have to play nice with the company’s draconian policies.
Tsukihime A Piece of Blue Glass Moon is a remake of the original 2000-released eroge visual novel and was released in 2021. It managed to sell over 300,000 copies by 2023.
The English release is expected to launch on June 27, 2024.
