At the end of the Level-5 Vision 2026 II showcase, CEO Akihiro Hino teased a Professor Layton and the Curious Village remake for the Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and PC. It is expected to appear in 2027, but there’s no launch window yet. This marks the first console and PC release, as it started its life as a Nintendo DS exclusive.

The trailer at the event showed how the game will look on consoles and PCs. There will be new animations and updated graphics, as well as a widescreen presentation. It also offered peeks at some of the puzzles that will be coming back. It also highlights some of the point-and-click nature of things.

This will be the widest release of this entry in the series when it appears. When the adventure first appeared, it started out as a DS exclusive in 2007 in Japan and 2008 everywhere else. In Japan, a mobile version did follow. However, it didn’t go multiplatform worldwide until 10 years later when the Android and iOS versions appeared.

The Professor Layton and the Curious Village remake is in development for the Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and PC. It appeared on the DS originally, followed by mobile ports worldwide.
