Yo-kai Watch 5th Anniversary Title Presentation set for June 27



Level-5 will host a “Yo-kai Watch 5th Anniversary Title Presentation” on June 27, where it will announce its previously teased new entry in the series. The presentation will be live streamed on YouTube.

The official website for the event features a main visual of Komasan and Jibanyan holding smartphones with question marks on them, and a town of yo-kai behind them.

Given that the previously reported teaser text for the new title included “An ultra epic title that will shake the world” and “Head out on a grand adventure with your smartphone,” and the fact that Komasan and Jibanyan are holding smartphones, it is likely the new title to be announced is a smartphone game.

Stay tuned.

Inazuma Eleven is a Super Dimensional action adventure about a team from humble beginnings rising up to keep their passion alive in the face of a corrupt elite corporation. Only when using their Special Moves can they get their point across. The latest installment in the Inazuma Eleven franchise, Inazuma Eleven Ares, depicts a parallel world that will feature both new characters and cast from the original in action packed, heart wrenching matches between the good, the evil, and those in between. Building on the foundation laid by previous series, which number over 250 episodes, four movies and more than eight million Nintendo games sold to date, the reboot series has begun its broadcast premiere in Asia, is scheduled to launch in Europe Fall 2018, and is planned to debut in North America for the first time in 2019. The slate also includes the premiere of the video game in 2019 with the aim to tap into the growing eSports movement.

新作发表会直播回顾影片

   

　　《妖怪手表 世界》是为了纪念《妖怪手表》系列 5 周年而打造的作品，由 GungHo Online Entertainment 开发、LEVEL-5 担任原作・监修，是一款透过行动装置在 3D 地图上呈现出现实世界的「妖怪探索位置游戏 」。 只要启动游戏并以手机画面来「搜寻」，就可以透过 AR（扩增实境）的方式让妖怪们出现在现实世界之中。 藉由 GPS 地理定位功能，玩家可以收集日本全国各地的妖怪。









　　本作利用了「Google Maps Platform」的最新技术，比起过往的地理定位游戏可以呈现出更加立体且真实的街景。 此外，本作还加入了可让手持妖怪「附身」在其他玩家身上，从其他地区将妖怪带回来的「附身（取り凭け / ヒョーイ）」功能。 不只如此，还有可以和强劲妖怪作战的「降临头目」事件等，准备了各式各样的游戏内活动。









　　根据官方表示，今后还会跟日本全家便利超商、NTT Docomo 等厂商进行异业合作，并且也预定和 GungHo 旗下人气作品《龙族拼图（Puzzle & Dragons）》合作。 为了纪念本作的发表，从明日起将有约两周的时间，在 Google MAPS 的导航模式可选择「吉胖喵」作为向导。 更多详细情报，将于日后陆续发表。

　　本作请到「Bump of Chicken」演唱主题曲，并邀请坂口健太郎演出广告

发现、收集、附身

　　《妖怪手表 世界》的舞台是现实的日本，玩家可以透过 3D 地图来收集在日本各地出没的各式各样妖怪。 透过地理定位功能，还会有只在特定场所出现的「当地妖怪」登场。







　　只要点击「搜寻（サーチ）」按钮并看向手机画面，就可以看到妖怪出现在现实世界的地图中。 根据场所不同，可发现的妖怪也都不同。 在进入战斗之后，会采用半自动形式进行，我方陷入危机时可以利用道具支持、累积妖气还能够发动强劲的必杀技。 战斗胜利后，有机会让打倒的妖怪成为朋友。







　　若是让妖怪「附身」在其他玩家身上，就可以从对方的所到之处将妖怪带回来，也有机会获得特别的道具。 不用担心，被附身的人的详细位置情报并不会曝光，也可以设定是否要允许其他玩家「附身」。





　　《妖怪手表 世界》目前已经于日本 App Store / Google Play 开放下载。 需注意的是，由于采用 GPS 地理定位功能，在其他国家可能无法享受跟日本当地玩家同样的体验。

   

Level-5 and GungHo Online Entertainment have announced Yo-kai Watch World for smartphones. The location-based yo-kai discovery game is available now for iOS via the App Store and Android via Google Play in Japan.

Here is an overview of the game, via its store pages:

You are the Protagonist on an Adventure Set All over Japan

The many unique yo-kai of the Yo-kai Watch series like Jibanyan and Komasan appear in the real world. Search for and battle against the yo-kai that appear all over Japan. Complete your Yo-kai Encyclopedia by moving yourself or by getting other players to move.

First, “Search” for Yo-kai on the Map

In order to find nearby yo-kai, “Search” the location you’re at on the map. There are various yo-kai to be discovered depending on the location. Don’t forget to Search whenever you visit a new place.

Find Yo-kai with Your Smartphone Screen

Tap the icon of the yo-kai you discover through Search. By doing this, you will be able to see that yo-kai through your smartphone screen. Find yo-kai and pursue them so they don’t escape.

Battle Yo-kai with Simple Controls

When you Search for yo-kai, a battle will begin. Since battles are semi-automatic, they’re very simple. Use special moves when you have an opening or are in a pinch. By winning battles against a yo-kai, you may be able to befriend them. By training the yo-kai you befriend, you can battle even stronger yo-kai.

Possess Nearby Players

Your yo-kai can “Possess” nearby players. A possessor yo-kai can travel with the player it possesses to new areas. They might bring back a yo-kai from somewhere you couldn’t go on your own, or sometimes they even bring souvenirs. (Rest assured that your exact position will not be shown to nearby players.)

Plant “Yo-kai Trees” at Various Places

You can plant trees at your current location, as well as at places a possessor yo-kai visits. Yo-kai gather around trees, creating the opportunity for new encounters. Make proper use of Yo-kai Trees to increase the number of places you can befriend new yo-kai.

Plenty of Ways to Play

Yo-kai Watch World is full of other ways to play. From “Advent Bosses” you can enjoy anywhere, to “Departed Maps” where you can look back on your previous travels and more. How you play is up to you.

Watch the announcement trailer and seven minutes of gameplay footage below. Visit the official website https://youkaiww.gungho.jp/
