<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Yokai4" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/49f43898ccd96/yokai4.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/49f43898ccd96/yokai4.900x.jpg" alt="Yokai4"></a></figure>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/yo-kai_watch_4">Yo-kai Watch 4</a></strong> will be launching in Japan in just under two months’ time and, while we still haven’t heard any news of a western release just yet, Level-5 has shared some new information about the game.</p>
<p>First up is ‘Yo-makai’, the fourth world that you’ll be able to explore and home to the Yo-kai. This world was first seen in Yo-kai Watch the Movie: Forever Friends and joins the three variations of Springdale as another location in the upcoming game.</p>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Yworld" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/e4d2703e7e79c/yworld.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/e4d2703e7e79c/yworld.900x.jpg" alt="Yworld"></a></figure>
<p>Next, we have confirmation that a total of six human characters will be available to use in battle as Watchers. We already knew about Keita (Nate) and Touma, but Fumi-chan, Natsume, Akinori, and Shin will also be able to fight alongside the Yo-kai. You can see them all in this image below.</p>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Ycharacters" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/89819db431536/ycharacters.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/89819db431536/ycharacters.900x.jpg" alt="Ycharacters"></a></figure>
<p>The game will use an all-new system for befriending Yo-kai called Konkatsu (or ‘Soulmatching’). You’ll meet the mysterious monkey Yo-kai, Konsaru, who will introduce you to other monsters.</p>

<p>That’s not all, though, as it has also been confirmed that physical toy connectivity will play its part – picking up Ark toys will allow you to get special items in the game – and several new Yo-kai have also been shared. Below we have Gomendako, Fuukun (who has two forms), Raichan (who also has two forms) and Narukama.</p>
