New Professor Layton 3DS Adventure Will be his Last

The second Professor Layton for Nintendo 3DS will also be his last, according to a translation by Andriasang.

The news was announced by Level-5's CEO Akihiro Hino during today's Nintendo Direct livestream. Roughly translated from the Japanese, the new game will be titled Professor Layton & the Remains of an Advanced Civilisation.

Although this game might mark the end of Hershel Layton, the series will in all likelihood continue with other characters occupying the central role. Layton Brothers: Mystery Room, for instance, places Layton's son Alphendi centre stage.

The game is scheduled for a Japanese release sometime in 2013.

More details to come.
