An early hint that Schrader is actually Don Paolo:

Luke comments on a stack of books next to Dr Schrader: "Are these technical manuals? I don't know any of these words..."

Here's Hino's statement (Which automatically translated via twitter's AI, because I think it's impossible to turn that off now. So the translation may not be accurate) Plus a link to the Level 5 article. It's in Japanese, so it's subject to translation errors: www.level5.co.jp/news/20260917/

"Go to hell" is basic. "I hope your favourite series gets infested with AI" is scary. It's possible. It happened to me.

A fish from SpongeBob looks at a toilet with the caption "Oh, that's AI. There is Generative AI in my Professor Layton."

Around here they charge you at least 2 hint coins for top quality tips like that, but Snake's out here getting them for free?!

A pair of hands hold a piece of paper that reads "wis.ohio"

Two faces with a radio between them. One says "Snake, sometimes it helps to look at things from a..."

The sentence continues "... different perspective."

The hands are now flipped around, and upside down the paper now reads "0140.sim"

Somehow Inquisitor Barnham got 2 votes in the Schaffrillas Star Wars character popularity poll Someone with less self restraint than me would use this as an excuse to yap about his favourite niche Star Wars characters on his Professor Layton themed account...

Inquisitor Barnham appears alongside Perrin Fertha and two other obscure Star Wars characters I don't recognise in a Star Wars character popularity poll

Glad to see that this shop has the Layton games locked up, you've got to protect the valuables

"We have Professor Layton at home!" Professor Layton at home:

A tall, stern man in a white suit and top hat says "Professor"

Just saw the brightest lightning and heard the loudest thunder of my life

Belduke says "That lightning was a sign that we have angered the gods."

Honestly I think my biggest achievement in 2025 was taking Professor Layton to America before Level-5 did

RIP Hershel, you would have loved the Christmas puzzle party

Ernest reads from a letter that says "I have discovered the Richmond fortune. Now, to share it out, I am arranging a puzzle-solving party to take place on Christmas Eve."

Changed my profile picture for the first time ever (you can barely see the difference because of the crop feature but still)

Schrader sits at his desk wearing a Santa hat and writes "I'm dubious of this hat, of course, but when my spirit is lifted I simply must be jolly."

Near as I can tell, Hino says no AI generated content will be included in the games themselves, but that they do use it in development, which is disappointing. Some articles claim he's stated that they also use it for character design and temp voice acting, but I haven't found a direct quote on that

Probably the closest we'll get to a Professor Layton Christmas special

Layton says "Those scary rumours gave us just the information we needed. This snowman is the key to getting into this cave."

It's December, the perfect time of year for a puzzle guaranteed to make everyone mad

Still probably the most underrated Layton characters

Alfendi and Lucy are passengers on a train. Lucy prepares to take a bite out of a giant sandwich, while Alfendi closes his eyes, lost in thought.

Star Wars exists in the Ace Attorney universe, and this case is canon to the crossover with Layton, who is quite knowledgeable about most topics, maybe including pop culture. Basically what I'm saying is that there's a good chance there's a version of Layton that knows what a lightsaber is.
