I’m so excited! The team at atelier mimina – they made Giraffe and Annika, and are working on HARUKA: Beyond the Stars – just announced their next game, Yokai Batting Game in Kawagoe! It’s a quick and fun action game coming to Steam in 2027, and it looks totally unique!
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Smash yokai. Save Kawagoe. All with just one button.
Yokai Batting Game is a quick and fun action game that takes place during a lively festival in Kawagoe, a town known for its beautiful lanterns.
Okay, so picture this: it’s a full moon, and the town is covered in these playful but troublesome spirits called yokai! Basically, it’s my job as the player to send them packing and bring the calm back to everything. It’s a really fun premise!
Using just a baseball bat and simple one-button controls, you’ll swing and smash through hordes of yokai. It’s easy to pick up and play, but challenging to truly master, making it enjoyable for everyone.
Step into a vibrant Japanese festival night and see how long you can survive!
