The website also has a new description of the game:
This game depicts a world a year after the events of Professor Layton and an untwisted future.
Set in Steam Bison, America.
There, the power of highly developed steam engines opened up a new world that far surpassed even the technological development of London.
Due to a mysterious incident in Steam Bison, a new adventure begins for Professor Layton and Luke.
There are also character biographies:
- Professor Layton: Herschel Layton, professor of archeology at Gressenheller University. On the other hand, as an authority on mysteries, he worked with Luke to solve mysteries around the world. Since Luke left for America, he has been on his own.
- Luke: Luke Triton, the self-proclaimed first student of Professor Layton. Due to family circumstances, he lives in the USA. His love of mysteries remains unchanged, and thanks to his innate creativity, he continues to solve the daily mysteries in the city. He gained some popularity as “Detective Luke”.
Interestingly, Level 5 Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will be released in 2025 on the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo is expected to release its next-generation console, possibly called the Nintendo Switch 2, at some point in 2024. Will Professor Layton and New World of Steam also launch on this console? When it comes out in 2025, you’ve been waiting for it. However, it’s worth remembering that Nintendo has said it will continue to release games for the nearly seven-year-old Switch until 2025.
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is the 10th installment of the Layton franchise and the eighth featuring Herschel Layton himself. We haven’t seen the good professor in the title role since the 2014 crossover with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Layton’s last proper game was Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, which was released on 3DS in 2017 and was ported to Switch in 2019.
