Ace Attorney fans, your chances of a novel game are not zero, as Capcom has promised that you can expect more from the series in the future.
Although the Ace Attorney series is extremely popular, there has not been a completely novel installment of the series since The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve released in 2017. Since then, several collections have been created that finally brought such titles to the rest of the world for the first time, which was greatly welcomed by many fans of the series, but despite this there were plenty of requests for a completely novel game. And while the studio hasn’t announced a novel game (trust me, you’d hear every Ace Attorney fan under the sun screaming), Capcom’s Kenichi Hashimoto recently spoke with NetLab (translations via Everything Nintendo) about the future of the series.

When asked if it’s true that fans believe that buying Ace Attorney merchandise encourages them to work on the next game, Hashimoto replied: “It’s true. After all, the support of passionate fans is something that is appreciated not only by us developers, but also by the entire company, including the management, so it is very important. Of course, the sale of goods does not directly become the budget for the development of new games, but it leads to conversations about “how to continue working with such a volume.” “popularity”, so merchandise sales are an essential indicator.”
On whether fans can expect more from the series, Hashimoto added that “The Ace Attorney series will not stop creating content. We definitely have many directions in which we want to develop further, including mixed media. things we would like to talk about when the time comes for us to reveal something, but for now I can’t say much.”
Mixed media can mean many things, as the mystery adventure series has had both animated and live-action versions. Of course, what fans will be most looking forward to is a brand novel game (and that crossover with Professor Layton in Japan), but unfortunately for now you’ll probably just have to buy more merchandise to make that happen. Funny, that.
