Nintendo began streaming a trailer for Level 5's Yo-kai Watch 3 game on Thursday. The game will launch in the United States on February 8.
Yo-kai Watch 3 launched in Japan in two versions — Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi and Yo-kai Watch 3: Tempura — in July 2016. Level 5 later released a Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki version in December 2016. The game launched in Europe in December.
A Yo-kai Watch 4 game is slated for Nintendo Switch in Japan in spring 2019 after a delay from this winter. The game will "connect" the three "worlds" of original franchise protagonist Keita, Yo-kai Watch Shadowside: Oni-ō no Fukkatsu film protagonist and Keita's daughter Natsume, and the upcoming protagonist of the Yo-kai Watch: Forever Friends film Shin.
Level 5 announced the Yo-kai Watch franchise in 2011 with a game, manga, and anime already planned. The first game launched in July 2013 and the first anime launched in January 2014. The franchise is Level 5's third cross-media project after Inazuma Eleven and Little Battlers eXperience.
