Key Takeaways

  • Capcom reaffirms commitment to Ace Attorney franchise, aiming for future milestones like 25th and 30th anniversaries.
  • Gyakuten Saiban, or Ace Attorney, has expanded into various media beyond video games, including comic books and live-action.

As a seasoned gamer with a heart for courtroom dramas and a knack for solving intricate cases, I couldn’t be more thrilled to hear about Capcom’s continued commitment to the Ace Attorney franchise. Having been hooked on this series since its debut on the Game Boy Advance, I’ve seen it grow from a humble visual novel adventure game into a multi-media juggernaut that spans comic books, stage productions, and live-action films.

Capcom has reassured fans that they will keep creating content for the Ace Attorney series, as it approaches its 24th anniversary. The latest main installment, Spirit of Justice, was launched in 2016; however, a spin-off and various collections have been released since then too.

Often considered one of Capcom’s pivotal game series, “Gyakuten Saiban,” known as “Ace Attorney” in many regions, is a collection of visual novel-style adventure games. Over time, this intellectual property has expanded beyond video games, exploring realms such as comic books, stage performances, and live-action films. Now, Capcom expresses ambitions to further explore the potential of the “Ace Attorney” franchise in future projects.

In a conversation with a Japanese media outlet and polling website called Netlab, Capcom’s Kenichi Hashimoto confirmed that the company has no plans to halt production of Ace Attorney content. Previously, in a different interview, Hashimoto, who was responsible for creating the popular Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy released in January, made similar statements. Specifically, Capcom is keen on expanding the Gyakuten Kenji, or Ace Attorney Investigations spin-off, across various media formats, as mentioned by Hashimoto to Netlab. Additionally, the company aims for the Ace Attorney franchise to reach its 25th and 30th anniversaries, with the original title debuting on the Game Boy Advance on October 12, 2001.

Capcom’s Future Plans for the Ace Attorney Franchise

Hashimoto didn’t reveal any specifics about the upcoming developments of the Ace Attorney series, but he assured that Capcom would share news on this matter at a later time. His recent interview was published prior to the launch of the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection on September 6. This collection includes both installments of Ace Attorney Investigations – Miles Edgeworth and its successor, Prosecutor’s Gambit. Some fans consider the latter game as one of the top games in the entire Ace Attorney series.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel a thrill when I think about the success stories of some of my favorite video game franchises. Recently, I learned that Capcom, the company behind these epic series, has shared some fascinating numbers. For instance, they revealed back in June that their Ace Attorney series has sold approximately 12 million copies worldwide. That’s a pretty impressive accomplishment!

In the popular Ace Attorney series, there hasn’t been an official confirmation about the seventh main installment yet, but fans are optimistic that it will be released someday. In the meantime, if you’re looking for games similar to this where you play as a lawyer, you might want to check out Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane, which is set to release in 2023.
