Many had already been operating under the assumption that Professor Layton and the New World of Steam would be a cross-gen title that would target the Switch 2 as well, and developer and publisher Level-5 has made that official. 

We got a brief new look at the next instalment in the fan-favourite puzzle adventure title at the recent Nintendo Direct, with Level-5 confirming that New World of Steam will release simultaneously for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches sometime this year. When exactly it will release has still not been confirmed. 

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam launches several other third party titles confirmed for the Switch 2, including the likes of FromSoftware’s The DuskbloodsElden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Split Fiction, Star Wars Outlawsand many others. Meanwhile, Nintendo has, as you would expect, also announced several major first-party titles for the console, including launch title Mario Kart World, July release Donkey Kong Bananza, and 2025 title Kirby’s Air Riders.
