Remember the new Professor Layton and the New World of Steam trailer that was shared in August? Well, Nintendo UK has now shared a slightly different one.
While it's the same footage and gameplay, and the voice work and voiceovers are still in Japanese, the in-game text is now displayed in English. So you can actually see what some of the characters are saying to Layton and Luke. Menus and the game map are now also in English!
Here's a quick look at some of these scenes as well as a translated overlay:
While it's not much, it does give a little extra insight into Layton and Luke's next big release. As you can see, this new entry will require you to interact with the locals of Steam Bison, solve puzzles and unravel the mystery.
We've already gone 'hands on' with this one and can confirm it feels just like the older Professor Layton games.
Will you be joining Professor Layton and Luke in their new Switch adventure next year? Let us know in the comments.

I hope this is more for tv than handheld. I like using my switch docked almost all of the time. Either way I'm getting this game, so for all the complaining I'll do they have my money
While I do prefer the 2D Layton games (and Ace Attorney) I do quite like the artstyle in this one. Hope the puzzles are good.
@rvcolem1 Honestly the opposite for me, can’t imagine how awkward controls wise a lot of the staple puzzles would be and the DS features actually resulted in some of the most inventive puzzles in the series.
@nessisonett yeah oddly my wife only plays handheld on her switch and I only play docked. I get that this is a handheld series and I'll man up when the time comes. It will be ok, I just wanted to whine because I can't sleep.
@rvcolem1 This actually reminds me of puzzle! 😂
Hope sleep takes over soon!
Wow these stills look good!
I'm beyond hyped the series is finally moving forward!! 🤎🤎
Wonder if they generated the translation with Ai, given how Level 5 shills that now.
@rvcolem1 Whereas having the Switch in handheld mode next to my bed keeps me up!
Inject this game into my veins .... I've been waiting so much for a new Layton game. I was worried about the series future after the puzzle master Akira Tago passed away......... wow... 8 years ago already?
Can't wait for this new entry! Definitely going to get this one somewhere down the road.
Feels like this game has taken forever.
What a nice trailer. It shows just the right amount of story, what the gameplay is like and how the world feels like.
I want to play it.
@nessisonett They could always use pointer controls so that it basically works similar to a Wii remote. It's not ideal and requires calibration every now and then, but works well enough in some games.
@Uncle_Franklin it would not be a Layton game if it didn’t take forever to be localised.
Yep, saw this video on Nintendo's Italian YouTube channel yesterday, so looking forward to this new Layton whenever it comes out and I have my fingers crossed that we'll see the previous games on Switch and/or its successor at some point (maybe they'll be added to NSO if that ever gets 3/DS games?)!
The new remixed theme already feels so nostalgic! Another day 1!
The 3D models return. The drawn versions were a lot better, a pity really. It's likely the tone, so destroyed in Laytons 5 and 6, will equally be remiss here. Hopefully a few puzzles might be all right.
@VoidofLight I could be wrong, but as far as im aware NWoS seems to be AI free, unlike some of their other new projects
Stick it in my veins!!! I can't wait!
Man do I really want this game. It almost hurts to wait this long, but hopefully the 2025 release window is now set in stone.
@Zeldinion I genuinely hope that’ll be the case. Holy Horror Mansion and Decapolice disappoint me massively because of their use of generative Ai on those games.
This art style translated so well to HD!! IT LOOKS SCRUMPTIOUS! however, I am definitely sad they had to choose a theme with so few colors, as PL does colors like pastels particularly well. Minor nitpick though, and it does look unlike so many games nowadays that I can take it.
