The renowned Layton series returns to Nintendo 3DS as LAYTON'S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy launches on 6th October

Solving mysteries runs in the family! With Professor Layton’s whereabouts unknown, it’s time for his daughter Katrielle to take centre stage in LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, coming to Nintendo 3DS family systems in Europe on 6th October 2017. Developed by LEVEL-5 Inc. and distributed in Europe by Nintendo, this new adventure marks the tenth anniversary of the popular mystery-puzzle game series, which has sold more than 8.7 million units in Europe to date.

The Nintendo 3DS version of the game includes more puzzles than any game in the Layton series thus far, and what’s more, bonus puzzles will be available to download daily for one year, starting from launch day*. With additional minigames to round out the package, puzzle fans will find plenty to keep their brains occupied as they explore the charming and visually rich world of LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy.

The story this time begins with Katrielle setting up the Layton Detective Agency on Chancer Lane, determined to prove her worth and hoping that the exposure will help her to uncover clues regarding her missing father’s whereabouts. Whizzing around London on her trusty bicycle, solving case after unlikely case, Katrielle will become embroiled in a quizzical quest that eventually leads to her unwitting discovery of the Millionaires’ Conspiracy. However, she’s not alone in her endeavours – a young Gressenheller student by the name of Ernest Greeves joins the agency as her assistant, and the team quickly grows to three when Sherl, a talking dog, becomes Katrielle’s first client and subsequently a trusty sidekick.

With the intuitive, Touch Screen-based gameplay that fans know and love, LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy is as easy to pick up and play as any of its predecessors, and can be enjoyed on any system in the Nintendo 3DS family, including the recently-released New Nintendo 2DS XL. Layton diehards, casual puzzle-solvers and newcomers alike will quickly become immersed in the brain-teasing adventure as they help Katrielle discover clues, solve puzzles and ultimately deduce the truth. Fashion-conscious players can also redecorate the agency and dress Katrielle in various different outfits to suit the case at hand.

With the most puzzles ever included in a Layton game, a colourful cast of new characters, a hatful of humorous dialogue and an intriguing new storyline, it’s time to say hello to a new heroine and a new era for the Layton series! Will Katrielle and her friends ever be able to find her missing father?

Discover the truth for yourself when LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY™: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy comes to Nintendo 3DS family systems on 6th October.

First Layton game that is published by Level 5 abby in Europe and not Nintendo. Nintendo is still taking over the distribution duties, given that Level 5 doesn't have a its own distribution network over here. Having a retail version is definitely a plus over the smartphone release.

Great
Can't wait for my 7th Layton game on a Nintendo system.
Not counting layton x ace attorney

It will be probably priced as a normal 3ds game but still. ..

I'm in. Does it require any knowledge of the prequel trilogy? I'm very behind.

I really doubt it
Consider also that the prequel trilogy is... prequel
This is sequel of the original trilogy
I think that the basic knowledge needed at max would be based on the original trilogy
Anyway the cast and the setting are brand new so I suppose one can easily play it stand alone

I've been out of the scene, are things not looking too swell?

I have read that it is chapter based and that each chapter feels unrelated to the others until the very end

And that the puzzles aren't as great as in the previous episodes

I'll buy it despite the negative reception that the game got on iOS. Happy to see that at least Level 5 still released the game outside of Japan for the 3DS.

Feel bad for people who waited for the 3DS version. Paying more than double for a not so great game that is several months late is awful. By far the worst Layton game in terms of puzzles and story. The free browser game that's going on now to promote this game has better puzzles than the game itself, sadly.

I feel good for waiting for the 3DS version since I know now this game isn't even worth the lower asking price for the mobile version. Easy skip.

Are we at least getting daily Nurikabe/Akari/Hitori puzzles?

It's not 40 EUR.
Does 39.99 EUR sound better?




Yeah, the same one you can buy on smartphones.

Not even gonna bother then. I'm not paying more than double of the mobile version.

While it looks good, I've been completely burned out by the Layton series. The last one I ended up just using a walkthrough for the game because I wanted to see how the plot continued. Is this connected to the previous games in any story related ways?
