The latest trailer gives fans a glimpse into the vibrant world, captivating characters and exciting gameplay awaiting them in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The actors will take on the role of an avid Japanese lawyer named Ryunosuke Naruhodo, the ancestor of courtroom legend Phoenix Wright. With the help of his legal assistant Susato Mikatoba and London’s great detective Herlock Sholmes, Ryunosuke will solve the mysteries behind 10 high-stakes cases set in the late 19th century, during japan’s Meiji Era and England’s Victorian Era.

The basic gameplay of the series, which includes Investigations and Courtroom Battles, returns. During the investigations, players will visit the crime scene to gather evidence, speak to witnesses and search for clues. In a new addition to the series, Ryunosuke will work with Sholmes to appear in a “Dance of Deduction” that stops the show. In these new sequences, players are tasked with correcting Sholmes’ bizarre conclusions to uncover the facts of the case.

The fate of the defendants rests in Ryunosuke’s hands during the Courtroom Wars. In the courtroom, players must give evidence, question key witnesses and make their case to secure the “Not Guilty” verdict. The series also includes the “Summation Examination,” in which players must draw attention to inconsistencies between jurors’ testimony in order to advance the case.

Capcom also released the first video of the “Case Preview” series on Twitter and other social media platforms today. Fans can expect new case previews every week 10 weeks 10 p.m. highlighting a different case in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles until the game’s release.
