Level-5 made quite a comeback at the latest Nintendo Direct – announcing a new Professor Layton and more. One notable omission was the Yo-kai Watch series. There is no need to worry as it seems that the Japanese developer is already up to something…
In a short message on social media, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino mentioned that Level-5 is working on “the next amazing thing” in the world of Yo-kai Watch (thanks, Siliconera), despite the fact that the Yo-kai Watch anime is on hiatus.
As you can see, the tweet is accompanied by a picture of a pink cat. Hino didn’t clarify exactly what the company’s next Yo-kai Watch project will be, but asked fans of the series to be patient “for a while” until the official announcement.
Earlier this week, Level-5 announced ‘Vision 2023’ – a livestream event featuring all of the developer’s upcoming games presented at the Direct. The Yo-kai Watch series wasn’t mentioned, but there might be a surprise. The Switch has previously hosted several Yo-kai games including Yo-kai Watch 4 and the original title.
