It appears that the Professor’s travels through time have brought about an unexpected occurrence. The third game in the Professor Layton series, Professor Layton and The Unwound Future, will arrive in North America a week ahead of its originally intended September 20 release date on September 12.

The Unwound Future follows the exploits of Professor Layton and his young apprentice Luke after they receive a message sent from Luke 10 years in the future. The good professor must test his mental skills against more than 165 puzzles in an adventure that tears down the boundaries between time and space.
