Professor Layton Sequel Headed To U.S.

In one of the more obscure announcement at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, Akihiro Hino, president of Level-5 and producer of Professor Layton and the Curious Village, mentioned that the sequel, named Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, was currently being localized, and he hoped to have it released in North American territories within six months. He also mentioned his hopes that the other four Professor Layton titles would be localized as well; the first trilogy of games has already been released in Japan, and a second trilogy is currently being produced.

I’ve been waiting for this news for quite a long time. I ate Curious Village right up, I thought it was a fantastic game. I can’t wait to play Diabolical Box.
