The third Professor Layton game, announced earlier this year alongside the second one, at long last has a final name. The game will be fully titled Professor Layton and the Final Time Journey (Layton Kyouju to Saigo no Jikan Ryokou).
As suggested by the name, the puzzle-solving professor's new exploits will revolve around time travel as Layton and his young partner Ruke travel forward to future London. The game will bring a sci-fi element to the series for the first time, and will also have a brand new set of puzzles.
This announcement came at a press conference held in Tokyo today by Professor Layton developer and publisher Level 5 to commemorate the 11/29 release of the second game in the series, Professor Latyon and the Devil's Box. Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino took the stage to announce details on the third game along with a new branch of the Layton series.
Back in August, Level 5 announced that Layton would be adapted into a live action film. Today, Hino announced a comic based off the game. Set to be serialized by Coro Coro Comics starting 12/28, the comic features, according to Hino, a different personality for the Layton character.
The first Professor Layton game, released to Japan back in February, is the archetypal DS success story, starting off slowly, and gradually building up into a huge hit. The title has shipped 710,000 units so far.
Initial orders for the sequel are five times what they were for the original, Hino revealed at the press conference, giving the series total shipments of 1.44 million. Hino is aiming to make this figure reach two million by the end of the year and is planning a suitable promotional campaign.
International audiences can look forward to the first entry in the series, under the official English name of Professor Layton and the Curious Village, early next year from Nintendo.
