Buying
The pre-order soundtrack, track by track
Eleven tracks from seven games, delivered in-game, for pre-orders before 11:59 PM JST on 9 December 2026. No Switch Online or PlayStation Plus needed.
The pre-order bonus is a digital soundtrack inside the game: eleven tracks pulled from across the series, playable from a Secret Content menu. Not a separate download, and not a code you redeem on a music service. You claim it in-game.
That detail matters more than it sounds. The bonus is attached to your save on a specific platform, and LEVEL5's own terms say it can only be used on platforms where the bonus was obtained, even with cross-save. Buy on Steam, claim it there, and that is where it lives.
Eleven tracks, in order
| No. | Track | From |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Professor Layton's Theme | Curious Village |
| 02 | The Elysian Box Theme | Diabolical Box |
| 03 | The Unwound Future Theme | Unwound Future |
| 04 | The Last Specter's Theme | Last Specter |
| 05 | Mask of Miracles Theme | Miracle Mask |
| 06 | Azran Legacy Theme | Azran Legacy |
| 07 | Katrielle's Theme | Layton's Mystery Journey |
| 08 | Folsense | Diabolical Box |
| 09 | More London Streets | Unwound Future |
| 10 | More Puzzles | Last Specter |
| 11 | Professor Layton's Theme: Flamenco Jazz | Azran Legacy |
Seven games are represented. The first six entries are the six main-line themes in release order, which makes the set a compressed history of the series; track 07 is the Katrielle entry, and the last four are scene or arrangement pieces rather than themes.
Claiming it
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Order window | Before 11:59 PM JST, 9 December 2026 |

| PlayStation Plus | Not required |
LEVEL5 is explicit that the paid subscriptions are not needed, which is worth knowing because bonus content on console often is gated behind them. Here it is not.
Digital buyers who pre-order get the bonus when they start a new game. Package buyers get a printed serial code in the box, in limited quantity, and some shops do not stock it - the official page tells you to ask at the counter.
The cross-save caveat
The official English wording is that the soundtrack "will only be accessible on platforms where the pre-order bonus has been obtained, even when using cross-save". Read it twice: cross-save moves your progress, not your bonus. Buy on PS5, play later on Steam, and the save may travel while the soundtrack menu stays behind unless you also earned the bonus on Steam.
A real limitation for anyone planning to double-dip, and the sort of sentence that vanishes when a site summarises the bonus as "eleven free tracks".
Absent from the bonus
- No art book, no digital mini-soundtrack outside the game, no theme or avatar set.
- No bonus puzzles or extra chapters - nothing in the official terms suggests gameplay content.
- No physical CD, even with the Japanese package; the package bonus is a serial code for the same in-game soundtrack.
Is the bonus worth it
Eleven tracks is a small, well-chosen slice: the six main themes plus the Katrielle theme cover the series' melodic identity, and the four extras lean on the entries people cite most. Buying at launch anyway? Pre-ordering costs nothing extra. If you were going to wait for a sale, the bonus is the only thing you would lose - and LEVEL5 notes it may be sold separately later, so it is not certain to stay exclusive.
