The action-adventure genre has multiple archetypes that have come and gone over the years. Film has Indiana Jones, 3rd person action games have Lara Croft and Nathan Drake, but with that, who can answer the call for an archaeological mystery? The answer to that is Nintendo's, Professor Layton.
Professor Layton's game series is known for taking the intelligence of Sherlock Holmes with the adventurous fun of Indiana Jones and allowing gamers to have to take some time to think to solve the mystery. The games have grown to be such a success that the character has even teamed up with famous video game lawyer Phoenix Wright!
In a recent update from developer Level 5, a new HD version of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future will be coming, worldwide, to smartphones! Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is the third game in the Professor Layton franchise, which released first in 2008 and later in 2010 in the west.
While not much more was released in the way of news, for the game, fans can expect the game to release later this month! Make sure to share your thoughts on the news in the comments section!
After solving a multitude of curious conundrums, renowned archaeologist Professor Layton receives a rather peculiar letter. The sender of this letter is none other than his assistant Luke...but from 10 years in the future!
'Future Luke' has found himself in quite a predicament. The London heknows and loves has been thrown into absolute chaos. Initially thinking that Luke may have simply been pulling his leg with a harmless jest, the professor cannot help but recall the terrible events that occurred the previous week...
The start of which was an unveiling ceremony of mankind's first time machine, attended by many prominent figures from throughout the nation. In the midst of a demonstration, the time machine went awry, and engulfed the audience in a terrible explosion. Several of the attendees mysteriously vanished into thin air, including Prime Minister Bill Hawks.
Unable to shake the feeling that the time machine's explosion may somehow be connected, Professor Layton and Luke set off to the location mentioned in the letter, a clock shop on Midland Road in Baldwin, embarking on what might be the biggest mystery they have ever encountered.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future will release on smartphones, worldwide, on July 13th!
