The Total Licensing magazine had reported in October that a television series based on the Professor Layton game franchise is in development.
As part of the new partnership, Bomanbridge said it will distribute Level 5 Abby’s original productions in Asian territories, and listed a Lady Layton Mystery Journey series among the acquisitions.
The franchise already inspired an anime film titled Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.
Level 5’s puzzle game series stars Professor Hershel Layton and his apprentice Luke as they solve mysteries.
