YW4 Recomp Beta 1.0.0

YW4 Recomp is finally launching!

After a long time in development, YW4 Recomp is at a stage I'm happy to share with the community. It took a lot to get here: lots of bugs squashed and a lot of things optimized. I hope everyone enjoys it, both returning players from the Switch and PS4 and new players starting their Yo-kai Watch 4 adventure.

Warning

This is a beta release. The game hasn't been played from start to finish yet. If you encounter a bug or a crash please send in bug reports. The more reports we get the faster YW4 Recomp can be updated to fix all the issues.

How to begin

1. Download YW4-Recomp-Launcher-1.0.0-setup.exe below and install it. (The portable zip is the same just with no installer.)
2. Give the launcher your own copy of Yo-kai Watch 4++, version 2.2.0: NSP or XCI files, or extracted folders. (No game files are included with YW4 Recomp)
3. The launcher checks your files and builds the game on your PC. This happens once and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Sit back and start playing!
