Meccha Chameleon is in active post-launch support, with two new maps added in July 2026-including a collaboration with YouTuber HIKAKIN-and a controller support alpha.
LEMORION and HAGANEIRO continue to support Meccha Chameleon, the drawing hide-and-seek game that launched on Steam on June 10, 2026. The game sold over 15 million copies by July 5, a rapid pace for an indie title. The developer has used that momentum to add new content and features.
On July 11, 2026, update 2.6.0 introduced the official collaboration map HIKAKIN Museum, themed around YouTuber HIKAKIN. The map includes photos of HIKAKIN and his brother SEIKIN, items such as misokin and ONICHA, and collaboration-exclusive gimmicks. The update also added an alpha version of controller support (though UI operations are not supported), region tags for Japan, South Korea, and East Asia, a bug fix for hit detection when the doppelganger was hidden, and an adjustment expanding the hunter's field of view from 100 to 105.
Two days later, on July 12, a further update added the Egypt map and a toggle for random map selection, as well as random elements to the existing Penguin Hotel map. The HIKAKIN collaboration had been teased earlier under the label "collaboration with a famous Japanese person." The game is available for 790 yen on PC via Steam and supports the cloud gaming service GeForce NOW.
