Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale and Picross e2 will both be coming to the North American 3DS eShop this month, according to official listings.

The store mentions that Level-5’s new Guild02 title will be out on July 18 for $7.99. Picross e2, meanwhile, will supposedly be available on July 25 for $5.99.

Note that these listings aren’t absolute. The information is likely accurate since it’s up on the eShop, but nothing is set in stone until the Nintendo Download reports are published.

Level-5 isn’t working on any major Professor Layton games as far as we know. Azran Legacy ends the series’ second saga, and closes Layton’s story.

That doesn’t mean Level-5 will be leaving the franchise behind forever. But if it were to return, fans should expect big changes.

When asked if Layton will see another trilogy of titles, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino said:

“If a seventh game was to be born one day, it probably won’t be the Layton we know today.”
