I had really thought that Mr. Hopp 3 would be the last game, aside from maybe a game focusing on Isabelle. It wrapped everything up pretty well, and then they started focusing on HD remakes of the first two games, and I figured "oh, they WANT to make more games, but they're worried about messing up the story they have so far." However, because it took this long and because I feel like I trust them to do it right, I have faith that this new game will be good. I'm also excited to see the return of one of my fav slightly obscure horror series! If only they would make pins...

The one thing I'm confused about, while I feel like I understand most everything in the trailer so far, is what time period the game takes place in in terms of the MHP timeline. Kaiya's phone says it's modern day, but Esther is in possession of Mr. Hopp until 2019, when the Entity is defeated and Esther assumes position as the head and guardian of the underworld. Is it maybe just Isabelle controlling Mr. Hopp and the new toys now? We've never had ghost-possessed toys in this franchise before.
