Compile Heart and developer Sting announced on Thursday that they are developing a remake of Sting's Dokapon Kingdom game titled Dokapon Kingdom: Connect. The game will have new online multiplayer features, and will debut for the Switch in Japan on April 13.

The Dokapon series is a hybrid RPG and board game. Players roll dice to move their character that number of spaces on the board. Landing on spaces triggers battles, events, mini-games, and encounters with other players, growing their player character as they progress.

Dokapon Kingdom was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2007, and on the Wii in 2008. Atlus released the Wii version of the game in the West in 2008.
