For those who don’t know, Professor Layton is a long-running puzzle adventure series, which blends visual novel aspects with extremely fun logic puzzles. This new version will feature 3D cutscenes, improved movement, and new companion characters.

While it’s not a Nintendo property, Level-5 has prioritised portable platforms like the DS, 3DS, and even smartphones over the years. This is the first time in the franchise’s near-20 year history that it’ll release on a Sony console.
