It seems that the next Professor Layton will also be the last one, or at least that is what Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has stated in his reveal of the game. During last night’s Nintendo Direct presentation Hino revealed that Professor Layton and the Legacy of the Super Civilization A will mark Layton’s final adventure.
The a clip containing this announcement can be seen below and the game itself will be released at some point in 2013 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS with a release in the West likely to occur sometime after that. It is worth noting that although this may be Layton’s “last adventure” it probably doesn’t mean that this is the last time we’ll ever see the character.
