Yo-kai Watch 4 release date will be delayed from June 6th, 2019. The game is supposed to be released on Winter 2018 but continued to postpone. Previously, the game will be released before the hype of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo), yet with the announcement from Level-5 on May 16th, 2019 the game will be released after the Expo.

Yo-kai Watch, an RPG from Level-5 is one of the most popular franchises in Japan.
