The incredibly popular Yo-Kai series continues this year with Yo-Kai Watch 4

The latest entry in the Yo-Kai collecting series from Level-5, Yo-Kai Watch 4, is due to launch for Switch sometime in 2018, according to Siliconera.

There's very few details just yet, but we do know the game will feature some of the characters from the anime including Touma Tsukinami, Natsume Amano, and others.

The original entries in the series are all about catching and combining creatures called Yo-Kai in order to defeat other, evil Yo-Kai. It's all a bit Pokemon, but there's enough tweaks to combat and exploration to set it apart.

The developer is the same team behind Professor Layton, and with earlier entries in the series being massively well-received across the world, it seems likely that Yo-Kai Watch 4 will have the same level of quality.

We gave Yo-Kai-Watch 2 a silver award, and the original game a bronze, noting that "Ultimately, this is a world which explores surprisingly deep moral dilemmas, resolved with messages which impart genuine, heart-felt wisdom." We'll be sure to keep you updated as more details on the game are released.
