The Ace Attorney series finally came to PlayStation with the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, but what do you do once you've finished those off? If you're looking for more courtroom drama, you're in luck: Capcom has just announced The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for PS4, coming to the system worldwide on 27th July.
This doesn't come as a huge surprise; the game was leaked as part of the attack on the publisher, and was later spotted on the Taiwanese ratings website. So, what's this all about? The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles brings two previously Japan-only titles to the West for the first time, bundling the pair of visual novels together in one package.
It takes the beloved Phoenix Wright formula back in time, following the spiky-haired lawyer's ancestor, Ryunosuke. He travels from his native Japan to Europe, where he meets all kinds of weird and wonderful characters and defends his clients in 10 court cases across the two games.
More than just porting the two titles to PS4, the collection adds in a few extras. An optional Story Mode removes the challenge and lets you enjoy the narrative stress free. There will also be a gallery of artwork to look through with commentary from the art director, and you'll be able to swap between English and Japanese dialogue.
We're looking forward to checking these out. Are you excited to play The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles? Make your case in the comments section below.

Omg. Amazing. As a fan of Phoenix Wright from the beginning i never thought id be able to play these. Day 1
Yeeeeeeeeeah boi
Capcom is firing on cylinders this year, holy #$&@. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Resident Evil Village AND the Great Ace Attorney games?!
I'm so happy right now.
I cannot WAIT for this! Excited beyond words! It comes out three days before my last exam so I'll have to push through those days without touching it otherwise I fear I'll fail!
YES!!! I was annoyed that this didn’t get localized on the 3DS some years ago but I can finally play this now.
@Ralizah add in Rose in Street Fighter V as well. Cap did a really good job with her on that one.
I'm excited. The Ace Attorney games are excellent, and it'll be fun to see what twists and turns these ones have.
I appreciate the work put into the fan translation of the 1st game but I'll be holding off on playing it now for this. Cant wait
Hype. Really glad we're getting more Ace Attorney games.
Are we getting a physical?
If we can get this AND a Miles Edgeworth Investigations double pack with the not-released-in-English second game as well, Capcom will be on my good list forever.
Brilliant news. I cannot wait. I have been a fan of the series since i played justice for all on the nintendo ds. Now to be able to finally play these is amazing news.
It just feels wrong for me to play these games on PS4! I’ll get it on Switch instead although I would have loved a 3DS release!
This has me ecstatic!! I may also plunge for the Switch version purely out of convenience.
I would have preferred a collection of the rest of the main games wirh a western release of investigations 2
Heard of this spin off of Phoenix Wright but must admit thought it'd stay in legal limboland,great stuff!
Guessing its asking too much for the Miles Edgeworth/Apollo Ace Attorney games to come out in a compilation too (or the 3DS exclusive ones that only had a digital release)?
@DualWielding There is such a collection, search for "Ace Attorney: Turnabout Collection"
Please note it only has the OG Ace Attorney Trilogy and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
@KidBoruto I meant something like a collection with apolo justice and the 2 investigation games.. I'll also like a collection with the 3ds games as I only played the first one
@DualWielding Understood, thanks for the correction! I hope they release such a collection eventually in the future.
