Professor Layton and the New World of Steam Reveals New Features and Even More Launch Platforms
The Level-5 Craftsmanship livestream and a new trailer on April 10, 2026 provided new information on the highly-anticipated Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, revealing new features, story details, voice cast members, and perhaps most interestingly, that it will be a simultaneous worldwide release not just on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 but on PlayStation 5 and Steam. Between 2007 and 2013, the Professor Layton series released six mainline games and an anime movie, chronicling the adventures of Professor Hershel Layton and his assistant Luke Triton as they solved mysteries. After an attempt at a revival with a different cast in Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy in 2017 failed, sending the series into another hiatus, fans were very excited to see the good professor back when Professor Layton and the New World of Steam was announced in a 2023 Nintendo Direct.
