Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Arrives This December

!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/09/e876929e/Professor%20Layton%20and%20the%20New%20World%20of%20Steam%20%E2%80%93%20Nintendo%20Direct%209.9.2026%200-44%20screenshot%20%281%29.jpg.webp) Professor Layton has been on a bit of a sabbatical these past few years. The latest entry came out for the iOS and Android way back in 2017, and a port of that game is the closest thing we got to a new entry during the entirety of the original Nintendo Switch's lifetime. Professor Layton and the New World of Steam has been in the works for a while now, but it wasn't until today's Nintendo Direct that we finally got a release date: December 10, 2026. Check out the new trailer below. First revealed in February of 2023, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam sees the return of Herschel Layton – his daughter was the star of 2017's Layton Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaire's Conspiracy. The series combines a mystery narrative with a wide spread of puzzle minigames, and today's trailer says New World of Steam has the "biggest collection of puzzles in series history." Professor Layton and the New World of Steam comes out on December 10, 2026 on PS5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC.

Epic Games Store expands voice chat access across multiple platforms, including mobile

The Epic Games Store for mobile is set to expand access to voice chat for users, now allowing players across multiple devices to communicate easily. You'll even be able to move voice chat seamlessly across devices, as this move also follows the expansion of text chat across multiple platforms earlier in the year. It's a fairly minor change, but one that has big implications for the Epic Games Store on mobile, and farther afield. Up until now, one of the major criticisms of the Epic Games Store has always been that it paled in comparison to other storefronts, such as Steam, in terms of social features. ...

Epic Games’ New Voice Chat Lets You Keep Talking To Friends While Playing Different Games

Epic Games has announced that it's going to make it easier than ever to hang out and talk with friends across different platforms by launching Epic Parties. This voice chat service will work across Fortnite (on all supported platforms), the Epic Games Store launcher (PC, iOS, and Android), and the Epic Games app (iOS and Android). For example, you can start a voice party from your phone or PC launcher, ring up a friend who is busy playing Fortnite on their PlayStation, and even transfer that call from your phone to your PC when you get back to your desk. This means that you can sit in on a voice call through the Epic PC Launcher while playing completely different games from your Epic library. Other benefits include a seamless approach to grouping friends together, as Epic says that if you're in a voice party with friends and everyone decides to open Fortnite, then the game will automatically drop you all into the same lobby together. This new feature is competing directly with Discord, which has been the go-to third-party app for users for several years. Epic's built-in alternative aims to let users bring their social list, voice channels, and digital avatar with them across multiple platforms and from game to game, whether you are on iOS, Android, PC, or console. Epic has also hinted that these voice and avatar systems will be integrated directly into Unreal Engine 6, and the tools will be offered to other developers in time. For now, it's currently rolling out to Fortnite, and Epic Parties will be available in Rocket League next year. According to Epic's year-in-review stats(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/people-spent-more-but-played-less-on-the-epic-games-store-in-2025/2900-7449/), over $1 billion was spent in the store in 2025, and it reached an all-time record of 78 million monthly active users on PC. Earlier this year, Epic spoke more about its plans to further improve its digital storefront(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/epic-explains-its-blend-of-blockbusters-and-smaller-games-for-weekly-freebies/1100-6538882/). "Our goal is to keep building a storefront and launcher that players want to engage with and use to grow their game library, but we need to be able to connect players with the game they want to play at the time they want to play it," Kyle Billings, director of strategy and business operations at the Epic Games Store, said to GameSpot.
