The original game was a hit, so confirmation at GDC that new Professor Layton titles would make their way to North America came as welcome news for many. Now a North American release feels even closer to reality, as Level-5 has announced an official release date for the latest game in the series.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box will be making its way to North America on August 24, bringing with it even more puzzle-based, investigative action. Even better, it will once again be featuring downloadable content, with one new puzzle being released each week.

The final entry in the trilogy has been confirmed for release as well, and after that there"s a whole new trilogy. Looks like puzzle maniacs will be busy for a while.
