Overview
- City Connection officially unveiled the game on August 24, 2026 by publishing a Steam page, trailer and first screenshots that outline characters, systems and tone.
- The title is listed for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC with a 2027 launch window and third-party reports from Nintendo Everything naming Clear River Games as a partner and citing an April 2027 target that City Connection has not separately confirmed.
- Gameplay centers on wave-based hack-and-slash combat, collectible equipment with more than 300 items, unlockable Ninpo ultimate skills and special 'Yokai Night Parade' dungeons with unique rules for larger battles and loot.
- The story frames JaJaMaru’s search for the kidnapped Princess Sakura and sets up a confrontation with Nurari Pyoko, the self-styled Yokai Supreme Commander who leads the parade of dancing yokai.
- The announcement positions the game as a spiritual successor to past JaJaMaru entries by marrying traditional yokai folklore to a funky 1990s street-culture look, and fans should watch for official release-date confirmation and deeper gameplay reveals.
