We’re taking a break from horror today (although all of your comments will still qualify for the horror game giveaway) to discuss brighter, happier games.
First, a JRPG-inspired action RPG I’m working on as a writer, Destiny Chronicles, is now on Kickstarter. We’ll talk more about Destiny Chronicles on Friday.
In the meantime, there’s also exciting news for fans of the Professor Layton series!
Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy is already out for mobile devices and will be out for the 3DS this Friday. Now, a new report says the next Professor Layton title will be out in summer 2018 (most likely a game, although that wasn’t directly stated).
Since Layton’s Mystery Journey was announced as the next series, it will probably be a new addition to that storyline.
Not only that, but there is also a 26-episode Layton anime in the works for 2018. They haven’t said what the anime will cover, but since the animated movie (Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva) was pretty good, I have high hopes.
(It also sounds like they hope to localize The Snack World, which is great!)
I’m looking forward to playing Layton’s Mystery Journey once the 3DS version is out, and I’m excited to know that not only is a new game in the works, but an anime is as well! Are you interested in the Professor Layton anime?
