Coming out in the states February 28, 2014: Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies! The sixth installment in the series. It would be a good idea to play at least Miracle Mask before this one. But my suggestion is to check them all out. It's a wonderful series!
Following the conclusion of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, the Azran Legacies, the relic of an ancient civilization, are now possessed by a mysterious organization named Targent, who wish to utilize the Azran's power for themselves. In addition, Jean Descole, Targent's rival, also wishes to utilize the Azran Legacies, thus setting the stage as the conflict for the Legacies unfolds. The story follows Professor Hershel Layton, his assistant Emmy Altava, and his apprentice Luke Triton as they travel to the snowladen city of Froenborg to investigate a 'living mummy'. There, they find a girl named Aurora, who comes from an ancient race known as the Azran, frozen in ice. After freeing her and realizing she has lost her memory, their investigation takes them around the world as they search for the truth behind the mysterious Azran civilization and the hidden treasure it holds. In the process, they are pursued by Targent. The places they visit include hillsides, cities, jungles and islands.
