As one of LEVEL-5’s masterpieces, the PROFESSOR LAYTON series of puzzle adventure games has sold more than 15.5 million units worldwide to date. Its newest official sequel, Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy — available on Nintendo 3DS/Android/iOS — was announced to be released in Spring 2017 in Japan. Not only will the main character switch from ‘Professor Layton’ (Hershel Layton) to ‘Kat’ (Katrielle Layton), many of its characters will be brand new. The story will focus less on dynamic problem-solving and more on solving multiple mystery cases observed in the everyday lives of Londoners, which will bring a faster tempo and more comical tone to the series. It will be more familiar — and funnier — than ever, while maintaining an adventurous quality. The creators of the puzzles and brain-teasers, the core element of the series, will also be new. Please look forward to the new PROFESSOR LAYTON series, targeting a Western release in 2017.
The game's official site also opened, bringing with it screenshots of the adventure portions on both 3DS and smartphones:

This should be an interesting venture.

Also I just thought I'd say I'm all for Layton news in addition to Ace Attorney stuff.

Edit: First time I saw the translated trailer. Oh wow, the dynamic between Katrielle and Sherlo is awesome.

It's like they took the average player who complains about Layton's deductions being conveniently spot on all the time, and inserted them into the game in cynical pet form.

Are we just going to gloss over the fact that there's a talking-ass dog now?
I mean sure the Laytonverse is pretty crazy sometimes but still

Well Luke can talk to animals to it's entirely possible that Kat learned how to from him, judging from the trailer i don't remember anyone else noticing the talking dog, it was only her hearing him.

While I really like Kat from the trailers, I'm not so sure on this "Multiple Mystery" thing. I've always loved how Layton games have one big plot point that is solved with some crazy ass reason, so having a few smaller mysteries is definitely less appealing to me.
Like someone else in the thread pointed out, it's possible that it will be like Ace Attorney, where at least some of the mysteries end up pointing towards a climactic finale.
Hopefully said finale would be handled better than the last time we've seen a member of the Layton family (PLvsAA)... That ending was just an infodump for the ages.
...In other news, Kat is the most adorable detective I've ever seen and I want this freaking game already.
Well? Are we going or what?

I prefer to think of it as the opposite: Luke taught the dog how to speak to the Lady.
That would actually be fun.

I showed the trailer to my stepbrother, and he was like "She can talk to animals? Has Layton secretly slept with the Luke's mother or something?"
You know it's funny, for some reason she does remind me a lot of Luke's mom.

Anyway, it's incredibly smart of them to release this on Smartphones as well. I'm almost sure we'll see an NX port too at some point and if not, then for future Lady Layton titles.
But I should say, I would've maybe been more excited for this if the last 3 Layton games didn't exist. I finished 4 thinking it was kinda whatever and 5 really dragged its feet too much and I honestly never finished the final Layton game. I think all those games lacked something the first games had. I think it's intrigue. The first game instantly has a sense of quirky mystery kinda like Twin Peaks. The tone is perfectly gloomy when you see the Curious Village. The second game had a fine premise IIRC, just a really, really weak ending and the third game had a great mindfuck mystery going on the entire time and the best character revelations and plot by far as well as an emotional ending, even if parts were phoned in lol.
I'm just hoping since this is a reboot it might turn out to be more like the first 3 games than the last 3.
This is the Dark Age of the Ace Attorney

I like how the dog just gives her shit the whole time.
I agree and don't agree. I do like the dynamic between the two, but watching the trailer in Japanese (of which I know hardly a word) I already thought the dog's reactions were getting old. With the subbed trailer, knowing what he's actually saying, it actually got even older quicker. I sure hope the dog is more than just the guy who keeps saying Catrielle is wrong and subsequently being surprised. (Honestly, how often can someone get surprised if it's so consistent?)
