Yo-kai Watch 4: first screenshot and additional details (world, characters)

14 July 2018 Lite_Agent Level-5, Yo-kai Watch 4

Today, Level-5 shared details about two of its upcoming Nintendo Switch games: Inazuma Eleven Ares and Yo-kai Watch 4. For the latter, we actually got our very first look at the game proper, with just one lone screenshot (to be found below).

Level-5 announced that the game will be released in Winter 2018, which was pretty obvious: mainline Yo-kai Watch games have all been released either in July or December (alongside the latest movie). Since nothing was released in July, it was pretty clear Yo-kai Watch 4 would launch alongside Yo-kai Watch: FOREVER FRIENDS (opening on December 14th in theatres).

As mentioned last month, Yo-kai Watch 4 sees three different world connect:

the world of the original Yo-kai Watch trilogy (where Keita lives)
the world of Yo-kai Watch: Shadow Side (where Natsume lives)
the world of Yo-kai Watch FOREVER FRIENDS (where Shin lives)

Several characters have already been confirmed (Japanese names):

Keita’s world

Keita Amano
Whisper
Jibanyan

Natsume’s world

Natsume Amano
Junior
Jibanyan (Light side, though his Dark Side also appears in the screenshot below)
Akinori
Touma Tsukinami

Shin’s world

Shin Shimomachi
Nekomata
Suu-san

Here’s the very first screenshot for the game and artworks for the characters:
