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 Yōkai Watch: Forever Friends film Shin.
Yōkai Watch 3 launched for Nintendo 3DS in two versions — Yōkai Watch 3: Sushi and Yōkai Watch 3: Tempura — in July 2016.
Level 5 announced the Yōkai Watch franchise in 2011 with a game, manga, and anime already planned.
The fifth and latest film in the franchise, Yōkai Watch: Forever Friends, will open in Japan on December 14.
