In the trailer, we see some clips of Layton and Luke on their new adventure in Steam Bison, a town of inventions. We can also see an example of the puzzles that you’ll need to solve. According to the trailer, this game will feature the “biggest collection of puzzles in series history.” There weren’t as many teasers as to what to expect from the story in this latest update, however.

You can watch the trailer in the September 2026 Nintendo Direct via YouTube:

The game was supposed to come out in 2025, before it got delayed to December 2026. It will also be a multiplatform affair. This comes after multiple delays hit the project.

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will come out on December 10, 2026 for the PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Windows PC.
