Nov 102023
Following yesterday’s announcement that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has been delayed to 2024, Level-5 announced Level-5 Vision 2023 II for November 29.
The first Level-5 Vision online event was back in March, when we got a few more details about the upcoming lineup of games they’d announced earlier in the year, most of which had 2023 release windows.
Now we’re here, nearly at the end of 2023, and none of them are out yet.
I have to say, it’s made me a little nervous. When Level-5 came out swinging in that fateful Nintendo Direct with three new announcements, it felt like their triumphant return after such a long period of silence. Then most of the year passed without any of those games even getting release dates.
Level-5 Vision 2023 II should help with that. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, DecaPolice, Fantasy Life i, Megaton Musashi Wired, and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will all be featured. According to the Fantasy Life i delay announcement, release dates will be announced for at least it and Inazuma Eleven.
Since only a single month of 2023 will be left by that point, I’ll be surprised if Inazuma Eleven, DecaPolice, and Megaton Musashi all still have 2023 release dates, but who knows?
Meanwhile, the official Professor Layton account also confirmed that new footage from Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will be shown.
Professor Layton is likely the farthest out of all these titles. While the others were given 2023 release windows, it never was, with a presumed 2024 release window instead. If the other games are being delayed to 2024, that makes me worry that Professor Layton could be pushed to 2025. But again, we’ll just have to wait for Level-5 Vision 2023 II to see what Level-5 has to share with us.
The live stream will take place at 9 PM JST, which is 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET, so I doubt I’ll watch it live. Either way, though, I’ll be eager to see the new Professor Layton footage and potential release dates for their other games. Are you planning to watch?
It’s nice to see Level 5 re-entering the world stage. I am okay if Layton takes a while because I have too many games in the meantime hahahaha
Haha, true. It’s been so long since the last one, though…
[…] We’ve got a few video game live streams lined up for this week, with the big ones being a Dragon’s Dogma II showcase tomorrow at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, and of course Level-5’s showcase the following morning. […]
