Six playable human characters confirmed.

Level-5 has released new information and screenshots of Yo-kai Watch 4: We’re Looking Up at the Same Sky introducing the game’s fourth world, six playable human characters, yo-kai befriending system, and more.

Get the details below.

■ 01. First Look at “Yo-makai,” The Yo-kai World
Yo-makai, where the yo-kai live, is the fourth world that Keita and company can adventure to in Yo-kai Watch 4. Players will be able to walk the wonderful and dazzling city streets that appeared in Yo-kai Watch the Movie: Forever Friends.
■ 02. Six Watch Users

While it has previously been confirmed that Keita and Touma can participate in battle, now it can be confirmed that a total of six characters will be able to participate in battle as Watchers. Keita, Fumi-chan, Natsume, Touma, Akinori, and Shin can fight alongside the yo-kai. Each character seems to have their own special abilities…
■ 03. Befriend Yo-kai with the Konkatsu
Yo-kai Watch 4 uses an all-new system for befriending yo-kai called “Konkatsu” (Soulmatching). Konsaru is a mysterious yo-kai that will introduce you to yo-kai you can befriend, but… there seem to be various conditions that must be met in order to be introduced. Look forward to more information about this system in a future update.
■ 04. New Yo-kai
Here we will introduce more of the new yo-kai that appear in Yo-kai Watch 4.
Gomendako (Keita’s World)
A yo-kai that possesses people who apologize even when they did nothing wrong.
Fuukun (Lightside) / Fuujin (Shadowside) (Natsume’s World)
A mischievous yo-kai full of curiosity who is always looking for someone to play with.
Raichan (Lightside) / Raijin (Shadowside) (Natsume’s World)
This yo-kai usually conserves its energy, but unleashes its thunder when it gets angry.
Narukama (Shin’s World)
A gratuitous yo-kai who is said to forecast good omens when it bangs the pot on its head.
■ 05. Toy Connectivity
If you have a Yo-kai Ark or Yo-seiken, special things will occur in the game. The effect varies depending on the Ark:
Standard Ark
Obtain a key for use in the game. It might be something good depending on the rarity.
Special Color Ark
By collecting several, you can obtain special items in the game.
Miracle Ark
Obtain a key that triggers something miraculous in the game.
Yo-seiken / Ultimate Rare Ark
Battle a Kenbumajin.
Jibanyans & Nekomata Crystal Arks
The game can also be linked with the “Jibanyans & Nekomata Crystal Yo-kai Arks” included with the physical edition of Yo-kai Watch 4 (while supplies last). By having the game read the Arks, you can obtain the exclusive, Jibyans-themed weapon, “Triple Nyanckle.”
