posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Level 5 began streaming a 12-minute gameplay video on Saturday for its Yo-kai Watch 4 Nintendo Switch game. The company originally debuted the video at the "Jisedai World Hobby Fair '19 Winter Ver." event in Tokyo on Saturday.
The game was originally slated to launch in winter 2018, but Level 5 delayed the game to this spring to further improve its quality.
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 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.
Yo-kai Watch 3 launched for Nintendo 3DS in two versions — Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi and Yo-kai Watch 3: Tempura — in July 2016. The company later released a Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki version in December 2016. Yo-kai Watch 3 launched in Europe on December 7, and will launch North America on February 8.
