Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Coming to Smartphones This Winter

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Coming to Smartphones This Winter

Capcom, announced that it will be bringing its highly popular courtroom drama, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney to iOS and Android devices later this winter.

The game takes place seven years after the previous game, Phoenix Wright, the main character of previous titles in the series, has been stripped of his attorney’s badge, and Apollo Justice, an up-and-coming attorney, becomes his apprentice, working with Phoenix’s adopted daughter Trucy on four cases. The player’s goal is to get their clients declared not guilty; to do this, they investigate the cases and cross-examine witnesses. When finding inconsistencies in witness testimonies, the player is able to present pieces of evidence that contradict the witnesses’ statements. Players can also use the “perceive” system, in which they are able to see nervous motions or actions during witness testimonies.

The game was developed by a team of 28 staff members, including producer Minae Matsukawa, director Mitsuru Endo, and character designer Kazuya Nuri. Series creator Shu Takumi, who wrote the game’s scenario and took on a supervisory role for the production, had wanted the series to end with Trials and Tribulations, as he felt that Phoenix’s character had been explored fully; when it was decided that the game would get made, he wanted it to have a new main character with a new story, and wanted Phoenix to not make an appearance.
