Ace Attorney fans, your chances of getting a new game are not zero, and as Capcom promises, you can expect more from the series in the future.
As beloved as the Ace Attorney series is, it hasn’t actually released a new entry since 2017’s Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. In the years since, several series have finally brought games like this to the rest of the world for the first time, which has been welcomed by many fans of the series, but there’s still a lot of demand for a brand new game. While the studio hasn’t announced a new game yet (trust me, you’ve heard Ace Attorney fans screaming), Capcom’s Kenichi Hashimoto did recently talk about it with NetLab (translation via Nintendo Everything ) the future of gaming. series.

When asked if it was true that fans believed that purchasing Ace Attorney merchandise would encourage the development of the next game, Hashimoto said: “Absolutely. After all, the support of passionate fans is not only recognized by our developers, but also “It also includes the entire company, including management, so it’s very important, and of course the sales of the merchandise don’t just directly contribute to the development budget of the new game, it also triggers the discussion of “how to continue to advance this amount.” . Popularity”, so product sales are an important indicator.”
On the topic of whether fans can expect more from the show, Hashimoto went on to share, “The Ace Attorney series will not stop producing content. We definitely have a lot of directions we want to go further, including mixed media. There are things we would like to talk about when we can reveal something, but right now I can’t say too much.”
Mixed media can mean a lot of things, as the mystery adventure series comes in both animated and live-action form. Obviously, what fans want most is a brand new game (and a Japanese-only Professor Layton crossover), but unfortunately, for now, you’ll probably just have to keep buying more merchandise to make that happen. Funny, that.
