Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is an upcoming puzzle adventure video game in the Professor Layton series for the Nintendo Switch, developed and published by Level-5.

Background[edit]

Professor Layton is a series of puzzle games developed by Level-5. The first game in the series is Professor Layton and the Curious Village, released in 2007;[1] the last main-series game before New World of Steam was announced was Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy (released 2013),[2] while the last spin-off was Layton's Mystery Journey (released 2017).[3] It is Level-5's best-selling media franchise.[4]

Development[edit]

New World of Steam was announced for the Nintendo Switch during a Nintendo Direct on 8 February 2023, with no release date revealed.[3][5] No gameplay was shown; the teaser trailer consisted of Professor Hershel Layton walking through an industrial area.[6] A new trailer was released in March 2023, revealing that the game takes place one year after the end of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, with the story taking place in an American town named Steam Bison.[7] Steam Bison has a steampunk aesthetic.[7]

In November 2023, it was announced that New World of Steam would be released in 2025.[8] Some details of the plot were released on the game's official website, with "highly advanced steam engines" causing a technological revolution in Steam Bison and a "mysterious incident" prompting Luke Triton to invite Hershel Layton to the town.[8]

The puzzles for the game will be designed by a group named QuizKnock, as Akira Tago, the puzzle designer for the other Professor Layton games, died in 2016.[2] Yo Oizumi will be voicing Hershel Layton, while Mio Imada will be voicing Luke Triton.[2]
