Two Ace Attorney Games Are Finally Coming to the West in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Capcom has announced that two Ace Attorney titles previously unreleased in the west are finally making their way over here as one joint package, joking that “It takes seafaring vessels a while to get across the sea, you know.” The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will combine two games: 2015’s The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and 2017’s The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve.
The games will place players in the shoes of Phoenix Wright’s ancestor Ryunosuke Naruhodo as he travels to Victorian-era Europe to solve mysteries and deliver justice. Set a century before the original Ace Attorney games, they’ll apparently feature a zany cast of characters, including a knockoff Sherlock Holmes called (wait for it)…Herlock Sholmes.
The announcement was accompanied by a video from the series director Shu Takumi showing off gameplay, as well as some of the English VO and localization. I’ve never played an Ace Attorney game, but if you enjoy finding evidence and shouting “Objection,” then this is the game and series for you.
