Capcom has revealed additional info on Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright, the realisation of what Capcom calls a “dream collaboration” between itself and Level-5 that brings together the two companies’ most iconic adventure series.

Defense attorney Phoenix Wright, archaeologist Hershel Layton, and other major characters from both series will be transported to a surreal medieval city, where they must work together to solve contradiction-filled puzzles in order to solve the larger mystery at hand.

Capcom added: “We feel that by drawing upon the strengths of both series, this collaboration will bring new, casual game players to the adventure game genre and into the world of gaming in general while strengthening the value of the two brands overall.”

While both franchises have achieved success, there’s no question that Professor Layton is bringing larger fanbase to the table. The Phoenix Wright series has sold 3.9 million units worldwide, while Professor Layton has shifted 9.5 million units.
