\"Level-5<\/a> Image: Nintendo Life<\/p>\n

Level-5 has returned to the livestreamed showcase scene with its first ‘Vision’ showcase of 2026, providing an updated look at all the titles it is currently working on.<\/p>\n

Overall, the details were kept pretty vague in this one \u2014 more than a few games had a noncommittal “in development” label attached rather than a release date \u2014 but given how many delays the studio has seen in recent years, we’re not all that surprised with the approach.<\/p>\n

Below, we’ve collected together every announcement from the Vision 2026 April showcase, and attached all the info you’ll need to know what’s going on in the world of Level-5. Let’s get into it, shall we?<\/p>\n

Every Switch Announcement<\/p>\n

Here’s every announcement from the presentation in the order they were made…<\/p>\n

Pufflings: Journey Through a Fantasy World (Mobile) – Winter 2026
\n\"Pufflings\"\/<\/a> Image: Level-5<\/p>\n

A new Suika Game<\/a>-style mobile puzzler from Level-5 and the Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble<\/a> team, NHN PlayArt.<\/p>\n

Yo-kai Watch Series: The Great Detective Nekomata (Mobile) – TBA<\/p>\n

A sequel to Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, The Great Detective Nekomata looks part Yo-kai and part Detective Pikachu<\/a>, as a deceased cat is thrust back into the world of the living to help solve crimes.<\/p>\n

Now there’s a sentence we didn’t expect to write today…<\/p>\n

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (Mobile) – Summer 2026<\/p>\n

This mobile version of last year’s Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time<\/a> features full cross-save and cross-play support, so you can continue all your Switch (2) progress on mobile, and team up with other console players to take on dungeons.<\/p>\n

Snack World: Reloaded (Switch 2) – TBA<\/p>\n

The 2017 RPG (or its 2020 Switch version) is getting a remake on Switch 2 in the shape of Snack World: Reloaded<\/a>, complete with new visuals and storylines.<\/p>\n

Inazuma Eleven RE, DECAPOLICE, Holy Horror Mansion (Switch 1 & 2) – “In Development”<\/p>\n

Inazuma Eleven RE<\/a>, DECAPOLICE<\/a> and Holy Horror Mansion were announced at various points over the last few years and, well, they’re still in development. Perhaps not the most concrete news (we barely got a glimpse of the first two), but at least there’s some new Holy Horror gameplay.<\/p>\n

Inazuma Eleven: Cross (Mobile) – June 2026<\/p>\n

Another day, another Japan-exclusive Inazuma Eleven mobile title. Will this one come West? Probably not.<\/p>\n

Hey, if you happen to find yourself in the region, pre-registration opens today!<\/p>\n

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road (Switch 2 Physical) – 11th June 2026

Yes, that’s right, after a stellar launch year, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road<\/a> is scoring a Switch 2 physical (in Japan, at least). The physical includes all updates up to and including the Rising Bond DLC and will launch in Japan on 11th June.<\/p>\n

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam (Switch 1&2) – 2026<\/p>\n

Hey, remember Professor Layton and The New World of Steam<\/a>? Yep, it’s still on its way!<\/p>\n

The new trailer introduced us to a bunch of Steam Bison residents that Layton and Luke will meet in the upcoming title, showcasing a little more gameplay and revealing that legendary composer Joe Hisaishi is behind the new theme.<\/p>\n

The Japanese voice cast has now finished recording, and Level-5 has released a special Q&A<\/a> with them, discussing their work on The New World of Steam and the series at large.<\/p>\n
