If the announcement Yo-Kai Watch 4 would be released on the PlayStation 4 wasn't already enough of a surprise, Level-5 has now revealed Yo-Kai Watch 4++ for both Switch and PS4.
According to the official Yo-Kai Watch Twitter account, it launches in Japan on 5th December and adds more content to the existing game such as new areas, monsters (presumably Yo-Kai) and multiplayer for Jibanyan and friends.
Switch owners who already have a copy of the fourth game will be able to download this new content as paid DLC. The official Japanese website will also be updated when the new version is released to reflect the changes in-game
Here in the west, we're still waiting on a local release date for the standard Yo-Kai Watch 4 game. Hopefully, when it does arrive, it will actually be this newer version containing all of the extra content.
Were you expecting an announcement like this? Have you been waiting for the fourth game to be released here in the west? Tell us below.

If this means we’ll be seeing a Yo-Kai Watch 3 situation (where Japan gets several versions but the localization bundles all of them together), I’ll happily wait longer for the localization. I’m always content with more content!
(I wish they’d hurry up though... and that they’d rerelease YKW1 soon as well. It already has an English version!!!)
Meanwhile, i’m still waiting for the first Yo-Kai Watch game to be localized on the Switch...
While I wish I could've just waited six months, I'm glad they are at least offering it as DLC instead of having to buy the game again.
Eh I think I'll wait for the Yo-Kai Watch 4+++ edition.
Hopefully when this game makes it out of Japan, it's 1. localized as a bundled package like Yo-Kai Watch 3 and 2. isn't rarer than the Virtual Boy in physical form this time around.
Its almost guaranteed to be a january western release
Please let this come to the West as well.
Whould love to have this.
Weird Level 5 did not come up with some fancy name. Guess this is what's going to be released in the west as YW4 in the first place.
@SpicyBurrito16 Meanwhile I already played it on 3DS.
Does it add the 10 or 15 frames per second that are missing based on the footage I have seen.
Hate how it's also coming to PS4. Hate it.
@Pazuzu666 Yo-Kai Watch was originally developed as a PlayStation game before being made for 3DS; it’s pretty much just come full circle
When's yokai 4++-×+?
@antdickens test!
@TheLightSpirit This makes the standard release irrelevant.
It's like the 'Game of the Year' edition.
@SpicyBurrito16 I think releasing it for the switch is what we are waiting for. It's already localized.
