This isn’t technically a Layton site, but hey, it’s got a certain connection to AA, wouldn’t you agree?
Tonight, Level-5 announced the latest main Layton game: Lady Layton: The Millionaire Queen Ariadne’s Plot! (Note that there could be some ambiguity over Ariadne’s gender due to the kanji used, but let’s assume they’re a woman given the name.)
The game focuses on Layton’s daughter, Catoleil Layton (romanization to be confirmed) and sees a return to the adventure-and-puzzle style of the original series.
The game will be released in Japan in spring of next year, available not only on 3DS but also iOS and Android devices. A localization is yet to be announced, but Level-5 trademarked “Lady Layton” in Europe recently.
Check out the first trailer below (note that at time of post, this is a livestream recording and not an official upload):
Professor
Layton’s hypothetical Smash taunts, like “Critical injuries are the key
to my success!” or “A true gentleman leaves no one unscathed” or “To
use a colloquialism: get rekt, son.”
