Following the releases of Inazuma Eleven and Fantasy Life, Level-5, the renowned game developer, has announced that the Professor Layton series will at last be coming to PlayStation 5 in 2026.

The newest Professor Layton game, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, will be released globally on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC at the same time. It’s also confirmed to be coming to the next-generation Nintendo Switch console.
