What's New in Yokai Matsuri

1.33.0

November 2, 2026

Momiji lingers a little longer! The maple leaves aren’t done falling yet. The Momiji event now runs through November 15, so you have more time to gather leaves, unlock the maple leaf komono, and uncover the Kodama lore. Inari says no rushing. Enjoy the colors! Always up to date When a new version of Yokai Matsuri arrives, the shrine will let you know so you never miss a new event, yokai, or bit of lore. Fixes and polish A few mischievous yokai were hiding in the code. We’ve shooed them out! General stability improvements and small fixes throughout. Thank you for playing and keeping the shrine lanterns lit.

Fun and a bit addictive

I’ve always been a Yokai fan, however I don’t typically like matching games. Yokai Matsuri did a great job making me want to play! The ambient background music, the beautiful designs, and the extra information are all pluses for me. I am thankful for the hints that pop up on occasion as my matching seems to be at a lack 😅 - all in all I’m enjoying it and I dig the events that pop up with twists on the standard matching mechanics. Check it out!
