Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box heads to iPhone, iPad, and Android in Japan

We're hoping for a west release, that's for sure

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box heads to iPhone, iPad, and Android in Japan

It should come as no surprise to any of us that there's another Professor Layton game on the way to mobile. This time it's Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, and it's headed to Japan in December for 1,200 yen (about £8).

This second instalment in the Layton series came out on the DS in Japan back in 2007, and was otherwise known as Professor Layton and Pandora's Box to international players.

In it, you're off on the Prof's biggest adventure yet as you investigate the death of his mentor, Dr. Schrader. Once you've boarded the Molentary Express you're thrust into another world of strange characters, curious puzzles, and engaging story.

Though there's no nitty gritty details surrounding the release just yet, we know it'll be receiving the same HD remaster as Curious Village. For both Curious Village and Layton's Mystery Journey, it was initially released in Japan before trickling out in the west, so I've got no doubt we'll see it on iOS and Android sometime next year.
