Professor Layton is really going strong. Tomorrow the new 3DS game, Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy will release in America and Europe, following the mobile release of last Summer. Although I have the mobile version downloaded, I haven’t played much of it, which is mainly due to my gaming slump in the last couple of months. If you want to read a bit more about the mobile version, here’s what I wrote about it back then.
And now, he will be a tv star as well! Who would have thought that of this humble gentleman! The anime series will be based on the Professor Layton franchise, so I guess we will see more familiar characters return. Unless they plan on using Lady Katrielle as the main star in the show.The anime series will have 26 episodes and will begin airing sometime in 2018.
In a report form Total Licensing magazine it was also confirmed that a brand new Layton game will release late summer 2018. There’s not much more to go on, but I think this new game will be for the Switch, not for the 3DS.
I am looking forward to it, that’s for sure.
