The Asian folklore chapter is scheduled to release in September, the same month that DBD has their Fire Moon Cosmetic collection, which is a fictional holiday created by BHVR that highlights their Asian characters. (“We wanted to create our own festival in tribute to the Mid-Autumn Festival that’s celebrated in many Asian countries”) Having the chapter be based on the Fire Moon festival also allows BHVR to create their own monster, combining elements from Asian folklore from many different countries into one killer, similar to how the unknown is inspired by various Cryptids and Internet horror stories, rather than just one.
