The Great Ace Attorney in English Coming to PC, PS4 and Switch

Capcom has announced The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a collection consisting of two prequels to the series about the adventures of Phoenix Wright. This will be the English language debut of these games.

THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY CHRONICLES IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. Developer: Capcom
  2. Publisher: Capcom
  3. Genre: adventure
  4. Platforms: PC, PS4, Switch
  5. Release Date: July 27, 2021.

Rumors from a few months ago have been confirmed. Capcom announced The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a collection featuring revamped versions of legal drama adventure game series The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. Both games were originally released on Nintendo 3DS and never left Japan. Thus the set will be the first opportunity to play the games in English.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles. The launch is scheduled for July 27, this year. The PC release will be sold on Steam. At the same time, a bundle containing the title along with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy will go on sale.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will offer the base versions of both games along with all DLC that enhanced the originals with additional mini-cases and alternative costumes. Players will also get access to the virtual Gallery, where they will find artwork, and the Auditorium, which will show the process of recording music and dubbing.

Recall that The Great Ace Attorney series is a prequel. The protagonist of the games is Ryunosuke Naruhodo, a young lawyer living in the nineteenth century, who is the ancestor of Phoenix Wright. In total, the collection will offer ten big cases to solve, taking place both in the Land of the Rising Sun and Great Britain. In his battles with the British legal system, the protagonist will be supported by a detective named Herlock Sholmes (very subtle...).

With the release of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles almost the entire franchise will have English-language versions. The only exception will be Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2. We hope that one day Capcom will translate it as well.
