“We’re nearly done with the core gameplay, and are currently focusing on the visuals and overall presentation,” said LEVEL-5 CEO Akihiro Hino during today’s LEVEL-5 Vision 2026 Craftsmanship event. “Voice recording for the Japanese version has wrapped, and work on localization for international releases is now underway. As development on Professor Layton and the New World of Steam nears completion, we’ve got a new look at the game to share with you.”
Hino continued, “Packed with more puzzles than ever, the game delivers a deeply satisfying experience. The story takes place one year after the events of Unwound Future, also known as Lost Future. Luke, followed soon after by Layton, sets off for America, where a new series of mysteries awaits. The story comes to life through a series of engaging puzzles created by QuizKnock, each designed to be hands-on and satisfying to solve.
“The game also features a standout voice cast, including Yo Oizumi. And for the theme song, a special collaboration is in the works—with music by Joe Hisaishi, and lyrics and vocals by Lilas Ikuta. The track is shaping up to be a major highlight. As it’s still very much in production, we’ll reveal the song at a later date.
“The cast has delivered truly outstanding performances, bringing even greater depth to the story. Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is currently in development with an expected worldwide release toward the end of 2026. While we don’t have a final release date just yet, development is progressing smoothly.”
Here is an overview of the game, via LEVEL-5 and the official website:
