Evaluation

Yokai Art 2: Tales of the Nine-Tails launched on April 26, 2026 and has received consistent post-launch support from developer Secret Labo. Since launch, the developer shipped a significant feature patch on June 3, 2026 (adding 32 new songs and an in-game music player), a major free seasonal update on June 29, 2026 ("Summer Groove" — a rhythm-based event with new gameplay mechanics, character skins, and unit reworks), and a free Official Soundtrack DLC on July 31, 2026. The central piece of outstanding content is "Yokai Art 2: The Lost Relics DLC" [DLC-3], a paid story expansion listed on the Steam store as unreleased with no release date confirmed. On July 5, 2026 [NEWS-5], the developer announced it is targeting an October 2026 release, describing it as their "first major expansion" — a post-game campaign where Hiro hunts escaped yokai across modern China, recovers the Four Divine Beast Relics, recruits new allies, and challenges new bosses across five new regions. A September 10, 2026 development update [NEWS-2] showed active work on new DLC maps (including locations in Lhasa, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Shanghai) and new support units. The most recent developer communication, dated September 25, 2026 [NEWS-1], announced an upcoming in-game Tetris Ninja Challenge event for early October while again directing players to wishlist The Lost Relics DLC — confirming the developer remains actively engaged and the DLC release is imminent.
