Level-5 confirms Lady Layton localization for 2017

Creativity and persistence!

If all goes to plan, Level-5’s recently-announced Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy will be released in western territories sometime next year, the developer has confirmed.

The Nintendo 3DS and mobile game, which is slated for a Spring 2017 debut in Japan, stars Professor Hershel Layton’s daughter, Katrielle “Kat” Layton, alongside a cast of mostly new characters. 

“The story will focus less on dynamic problem-solving and more on solving multiple mystery cases observed in the everyday lives of Londoners,” Level-5 says, with hopes it will offer “a faster tempo and more comical tone” that fans will find “funnier than ever” while “maintaining an adventurous quality.”
