A Capcom producer reassured fans that the Ace Attorney franchise is not going away anytime soon, as the publisher announced that the series will not be abandoned.
Ace Attorney Franchise History
Capcom first introduced Phoenix Wright as the Ace Attorney in 20201. The game became a hit on Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Over the years, the franchise expanded and introduced other protagonists aside from Phoenix.
In 2007, Apollo Justice was introduced as a defense attorney who trained under Phoenix. Meanwhile, The Great Ace Attorney series acted as the prequel spin-off of the game, featuring Phoenix's ancestry, Ryusoke Naruhodo.
Aside from video games, the Ace Attorney franchise also gave birth to manga adaptations, anime series, and a live-action film. Gamers who are interested in crime-solving and courtroom drama are the main audience of the franchise.
Ace Attorney on Modern Consoles
In order to keep up and maintain its popularity, Ace Attorney game titles are being re-released for modern consoles. In 2021, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was released.
Later this month, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney will be debuting as well on modern platforms like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Apollo Justice trilogy re-release producer, Kenichi Hashimoto, revealed that the series "won't be stopping" at all. Moreover, he also encouraged the fans to look forward to the future of the franchise.
"I can say that the Ace Attorney series will not be stopping, so in that sense, I think you can look forward to what is coming," Hashimoto shared.
