The next Professor Layton game will be distinctly lacking in … Professor Layton

A new Professor Layton game is apparently in the works at studio Level-5, and the developer plans to revea♛l a slew of details on July 27 at Level-5 Vision 2016. But until then, there's one major de💖tail that reports about the upcoming sequel: it won't star the titular professor.

A Professor Layton game that doesn't focus on Professor Layton sounds… different, but it's not like this concept hasn't worked before. The animated series Batman Beyond sidelined the Batman we all know and love - Bruce Wayne - to focus on Terry McGinnis. And Princess Zelda was entirely absent from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Besides, Level-5 explicitly stated that 澳🌜洲幸运5开奖号码历💜史查询:Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy would be the last game to star the pro𝔍fessor, so really, the company is jꦆust following through here.

Until July 27 rolls around, you can enjoy artwork of characters and locations that will ꦇappear in the game, courtesy of Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino.
