We just got our first look at Professor Layton and the New World of Steam’s puzzles, but we’ll be waiting quite a while to solve them ourselves.
Earlier today, on November 29, developer Level-5 hosted ashowcaseto update fans on all the games they currently have in the works. After showing off games like Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time and Megaton Musashi: Wired, the company’s CEO Akihiro Hino introduced a brand new trailer for Professor Layton and the New World of Steam.
Most excitingly, we got to see Layton and Luke teaming up again as well as one of the game’s puzzles in action. In the trailer, which you can see for yourself below, we saw the two detectives tackling one of the upcoming game’s puzzles that requires them to locate the front door to an extremely chaotic building covered in gears. In this iteration of the game, it looks like players will have the ability to make notes on the screen to help them figure out the answer.
While we wait for more news on Professor Layton, find out what else we’ve got to look forward to with ourupcoming Nintendo Switch gameslist.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
