When Is The Mimic Yokai Coming Out?

Yokai is an upcoming survival horror Roblox game by the creators of The Mimic, offering an asymmetrical experience full of puzzles, chases, and more. Many players are excited about this brand-new title and are wondering when they might finally be able to get their hands on it. After all, the game has been in development for several years. Thankfully, the game's developers have been pretty open about the development progress. So here's everything we know about Yokai's release date and everything mentioned about the game thus far.

When Is The Mimic Yokai Coming Out?

As we mentioned, Yokai is by the creators of The Mimic. Although it may take developers a year or more to finish The Mimic Book 2 Chapter 4 - the next chapter in The Mimic - it's likely that Yokai will come out a little bit sooner, as by all accounts the team is focusing on completing the spinoff title first.

Yokai was announced back in August 2021 (just a few months after The Mimic first came out), so a 2024 release seems likely. In fact, some fans have speculated that the game will come out in 4-5 months, around June or July 2024. However, this hasn't been confirmed by developers or head developer MUCDICH, so anything is possible; this release date is purely speculative for the time being.

Over time the developers have released several small previews of the game, or had assets leaked, and quite a number of them are covered in this excellent YouTube video by SGTV Gaming:

What Type of Game is Yokai?

While Yokai seems to be based on The Mimic and may even be set in the same universe, it isn't technically a "The Mimic" game and features different gameplay. The game puts groups of 10 players in a survival situation, with some players taking on the role of survivors and one player taking on the role of the Yokai. Players must complete puzzles, work together, and engage in chases to seal the Yokai and win the game.
