Professor Layton and the New World of Steam launches on December 10, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PS5 and PC (Steam), and its story starts one year after Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, with Luke now living in America and Layton joining him in the steam-powered town of Steam Bison. The price is still not announced. With one month to go, a question for the fans: do you need to replay anything before December 10, and where will you play it?

- Unwound Future is a DS game from the first trilogy: will you replay it (or the whole Curious Village / Diabolical Box / Unwound Future trilogy) before December 10, or jump straight in?
- Newcomers: do you think a new player can start with New World of Steam without knowing Layton and Luke's history?
- Platform: Switch 2, original Switch, PS5 or PC? Does a puzzle game like this feel better in handheld mode or on a big screen?
- Puzzles are designed by QuizKnock this time: are you hoping for classic Layton-style riddles or something new?
- Price is still "to be announced": what would you consider a fair price, and are you waiting for it before pre-ordering?
