Yo-Kai Watch 4, the newest entry in Level-5’s monster catching franchise, which is a veritable cross-media phenomenon in Japan, has been announced exclusively for Nintendo Switch and due to release for while now. The last we heard, it was due out in Spring this year. Now, we finally have a proper release date for the game—at least in Japan.
In Japan, Yo-kai Watch 4 will be launching on June 6, Level-5 revealed in the newest edition of the CoroCoro magazine. Launch copies will come with a crystal Yo-kai Ark, a limited edition collectible not dissimilar to the Yo-Kai Medals that they have distributed before.
For now, no English release date (or even release) has been announced (we only just got Yo-Kai Watch 3 in the west a month ago). Nevertheless, it’s pretty clear Nintendo and Level-5 will want the game out internationally sooner or later. For the fans’ sakes, I hope it’s sooner.
