Professor Layton Nintendo

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will be launching on Switch next year, and it seems to be because of Nintendo that the series is finally making a return.

It’s been eight years since the last entry in the franchise. Why’s not the right time for a comeback? Speaking during an event at the Tokyo Game Show, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino pointed to an unnamed company “N” that wanted a new game released.

Hino said the following:

Megaton Muashi W Wired Megarobo Batroseum update

Level-5 pulled back the curtain on the next major update for Megaton Musashi W: Wired today, highlighted by the Megarobo Batroseum. Additionally, Koji Kabuto from Mazinger Z., Ryoma Nagare from Getter Robo, and Duke Fleed from UFO Robot Grendizer will be made available.

Speaking about the new content, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino said during today’s Level-5 Vision 2024 presentation: “For Megaton Musashi W: Wired, we’re getting ready to release significant new content. Until now, you had to enhance your Rogues to battle online. In the new mode, the ‘Megarobo Batroseum,’ you can just select a Rogue and jump straight into battle. In other words, you can join player-versus-player as easy as in a fighting game. Some famous pilots will also enter the fray, making the heated super-robot battles even more exciting. The new Batroseum Mode is set to release in November 2024. Please look forward to it!”

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam Level-5 Vision 2024

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam just received its latest trailer during the Level-5 Vision 2024 event. The three-minute video provides another look at the upcoming Switch game.

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam was unveiled for Switch at the start of 2023. Fans have been waiting patiently since then, and barring any delays, we’ll be seeing it next year.

Holy Horror Mansion

Level-5 today unveiled Holy Horror Mansion, which the company says is its next concept for Yo-kai Watch. The company did not provide a release window, and there’s no word on planned platforms currently.

According to Level-5, Holy Horror Mansion is a ghost craft RPG. The game’s theme is “family”, meaning it’s something the whole family can enjoy together.

Inazuma Eleven Re

Level-5 just announced Inazuma Eleven Re, which is coming to Switch in 2026. This is a remake of the series’ first game.

Inazuma Eleven originally launched for the DS in 2008, but only in Japan. It would take three years for the title to reach the west, though then it was just Europe and Australia. North America finally got in 2014 as part of a new version for 3DS.

Inazuma Eleven Victory Road delayed 2025

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road doesn’t have an exact release date, but it has a fairly specific release window. Level-5 just announced during a presentation today that the game is arriving for Switch in June 2025.

Yes, this marks yet another delay for the project. Unfortunately, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has seen a number of different delays throughout its lengthy development period. It was most recently planned for this year.

Decapolice delayed 2026

Decapolice has been delayed once again. Today, Level-5 announced that the game is now heading to Switch in 2026.

Decapolice appeared during the new Level-5 Vision 2024 presentation that just aired. Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino spoke a bit about the game, but only commented briefly on the delay. Hino indicated that the team needs more time to finish the project, stating that the team is working to improve the visuals and content “as we’re evolving it into an even more engaging experience.”

August 19: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has been delayed for a second time. It was most recently planned for October 10, but a 2025 launch is now very likely.

On its website, Level-5 said it has “decided to change the release date”. The company did not explain why another delay is happening, but regardless, extra time is needed.

LEVEL-5 have revealed their lineup for the 2024 Tokyo Game Show. They’ll be showcasing games that were originally revealed in the February 2023 Nintendo Direct, including the recently delayed FANTASY LIFE i, as well as DECAPOLICE and Professor Layton and The New World of Steam.
