After April&#8217;s showcase whetted appetites with its first real look at several long-awaited titles, this follow-up presentation \u2014 subtitled <em>Dream<\/em> (\u5922) \u2014 is expected to bring substantially more detail on the games Level-5 is planning to ship before the year is out.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is LEVEL5 VISION 2026 II?<\/h2>\n<p>LEVEL5 VISION is the studio&#8217;s direct-style showcase format, used to update fans on everything in the pipeline rather than relying solely on third-party events. The first 2026 edition ran in April and delivered reveals for <em>Snack World: Reloaded<\/em> and new footage of <em>Professor Layton and the New World of Steam<\/em>. This second edition is subtitled <em>Dream<\/em> \u2014 the large-brushstroke kanji \u5922 on the key art \u2014 suggesting a focus on the studio&#8217;s flagship creative projects rather than smaller mobile or licensing titles.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the stream directly on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LEVEL5ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Level-5&#8217;s official YouTube channel<\/a>. English and Traditional Chinese subtitled versions will be available, making this one of the most accessible Level-5 presentations to date for regional audiences.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/level5-vision-2026-ii-sept10.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LEVEL5 VISION 2026 II \u2014 streaming Thursday 10 September at 21:00 JST \/ 9PM SGT\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Level-5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Professor Layton and the New World of Steam \u2014 Hoping for a Release Date<\/h2>\n<p>The most anticipated title in Level-5&#8217;s current lineup is <em>Professor Layton and the New World of Steam<\/em>, the eighth mainline entry in the puzzle-adventure series and the first in more than a decade. Set one year after <em>The Unwound Future<\/em>, the story moves to Steam Bison \u2014 a booming American city powered entirely by revolutionary steam technology that has overtaken even London. Professor Hershel Layton and a now-teenage Luke Triton (rechristened &#8220;Detective Luke&#8221; in the US) find themselves tangled in a fresh mystery in this strange new world.<\/p>\n<p>The game targets Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam), and Level-5 confirmed at the April showcase that development is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2026\/04\/professor-layton-and-the-new-world-of-steam-launches-at-end-of-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on track for a late-2026 release<\/a>. What the April show did not provide was an exact date \u2014 the one thing fans are most hoping VISION 2026 II will finally nail down. We <a href=\"\/blog\/professor-layton-new-world-of-steam-late-2026\/\">covered the initial reveal back in July<\/a> when the game&#8217;s soundtrack collaboration between legendary Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi and YOASOBI vocalist Lilas Ikuta was confirmed \u2014 a pairing that has only stoked excitement further.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/professor-layton-new-world-steam-2026.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Professor Layton and the New World of Steam \u2014 title screen with steampunk backdrop\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Level-5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cP05Iaq_eP8\" title=\"Professor Layton and the New World of Steam \u2013 Trailer (LEVEL5 VISION 2026 Ver.)\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Professor Layton and the New World of Steam \u2013 Trailer (LEVEL5 VISION 2026 Ver.) \u2014 via LEVEL5ch on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Snack World: Reloaded and the Rest of the Lineup<\/h2>\n<p>Also confirmed for the showcase is <em>Snack World: Reloaded<\/em>, a ground-up remake of <em>Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl \u2013 Gold<\/em> for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Level-5 describes it as having received &#8220;major updates to the gameplay, controls, and story, to the point where it almost feels like a brand-new game,&#8221; with significantly enhanced graphics designed to look like a beautifully crafted diorama brought to life. A new Chup-focused story mode lets players experience the adventure from the anime protagonist&#8217;s perspective for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>For Singapore fans, this is worth noting: <em>Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl \u2013 Gold<\/em> was a Nintendo Switch cult hit that never received a formal Southeast Asian retail release. A worldwide launch for <em>Reloaded<\/em> \u2014 Level-5&#8217;s stated intent \u2014 would make the series genuinely accessible to the region for the first time outside of imports.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/snack-world-reloaded-chup-2026.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snack World: Reloaded \u2014 Chup wields a sword in the shop\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Level-5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/snack-world-reloaded-village-2026.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snack World: Reloaded \u2014 village exploration gameplay with characters\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Level-5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Beyond those two headliners, the April showcase also introduced a new Yo-kai Watch entry and <em>DecaPolice<\/em>, and both remain undated \u2014 so any VISION 2026 II update on either would be a welcome bonus. Level-5 has also been quiet on a Western release date for <em>Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time<\/em>&#8216;s mobile version, which could surface here.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Watch From Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>The stream begins at <strong>9PM SGT on Thursday, 10 September 2026<\/strong> \u2014 that is 21:00 JST \/ 13:00 UTC \/ 6AM PT. Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LEVEL5ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@LEVEL5ch on YouTube<\/a> for the English-subtitled feed. Expect the presentation to run roughly 30\u201340 minutes based on the April format.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore fans who grew up on the DS-era Layton games and Yo-kai Watch on 3DS have been waiting a long time for Level-5 to return to form.
