The last game in the Professor Layton series felt like an eternity ago, so the fans were all the happier about the announcement of a new title. Now there are more details about Professor Layton and the New World of Steam.
After the announcement of Professor Layton and the New World of Steam a few weeks ago, Level5 has now revealed further details and also published a new trailer in a stream. And at the same time made it clear that the game will most likely be released by the end of 2024 at the latest.
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam takes place one year after the events of the Nintendo DS game Professor Layton and the Unwound/Lost Future, the third game in the original trilogy. Luke invites Layton to join him in Steam Bison in the USA to learn about the revolutionary new technology of steam engines. In Steam Bison, however, an incident occurs that sets the two of them on their adventure.
The fact that Luke is named Detective Luke in America is currently causing a positive uproar among fans. He now resides in the United States for family reasons. His love of puzzles continues, and his innate creativity keeps him solving the city’s everyday mysteries, earning him the nickname “Detective Luke.”
Level 5 also revealed that all puzzles in the New World of Steam were designed by QuizKnock, a group that specializes in creating quizzes and puzzles for all types of media. Exciting: solving puzzles should have an impact on the game world for the first time.
There is also a new teaser trailer to go with the broadcast:
