Yanako RPGs is actively expanding the Dokimon universe, with a sequel, a spin-off, and a free Steam giveaway all announced or active in August 2026. The sequel and spin-off are in early planning stages, with the sequel targeting a 2027 release.
In August 2026, Yanako RPGs moved on several fronts at once. The studio gave away its monster-collecting RPG Dokimon Quest on Steam for 48 hours, until August 27 at 2:00 AM, and discounted its DLC The Great Fairy Island by 20% for the same period. The giveaway was a direct push for player feedback on two upcoming titles: the sequel Dokimon Quest: II and a new game called Yami Kids.
Days earlier, the studio announced both new projects. Dokimon Quest: II, confirmed for PC via Steam on August 16, plans a 2027 release and continues the story with time travel to an Edo-period region called Zeros. The sequel rebuilds the battle balance from scratch and introduces a partner system, alongside UI improvements to the studio's MonTamer Maker engine. On August 17, Yanako opened the Steam page for Dokimon: The Living Soil, a farming and monster-raising spin-off that follows a retired Ranger settling in a Gunma-inspired countryside town. Players there farm, cook, fish, and battle in caves with roguelike elements, though its release timing remains undecided.
The three stories together show a studio doubling down on its Dokimon property, testing audience response through a free giveaway while announcing both a mainline sequel and a slower-paced spin-off. The Living Soil keeps the monster-raising core but shifts the tone to post-retirement rural life, while Dokimon Quest: II pushes the core series forward with mechanical overhauls.
