History
Professor Layton is a series of puzzle games developed by Level-5. Six mainline entries have been released between 2007 and 2013 for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. These are divided into two trilogies, with the second trilogy chronologically placed before the first. Other entries include Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. A seventh mainline entry, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, is set to be released in 2025 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 and is chronologically placed after both trilogies.
The original intention was to create accessible, simple puzzle games, akin to Brain Age. The games also take inspiration from the Ace Attorney series.
