Udvikleren Level 5 har for nylig lavet annoncen, at det længe ventede næste kapitel i Professor Layton-serien ikke lanceres i 2025, som forventet. En forsinkelse har fundet sted, og spillet er derfor rykket til en lanceringsperiode i 2026, alt sammen som led i bestræbelserne på at sikre, at spillet udgives i den bedst mulige version.
"Level 5 Inc. would like to begin by offering its sincere apologies to all fans who have been looking forward to the release of Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. Although the release was originally scheduled for 2025, in order to deliver the game in the best possible form, the launch has been rescheduled for 2026."
Udvikleren afslutter med: "We deeply regret any inconvenience this delay may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support."
Med forsinkelsen er der også kommet en ny trailer for spillet, som du kan se nedenfor.
