Report: Next Ace Attorney title to take place in Japan’s Meiji period

A scan from Famitsu reports that the next title in the Ace Attorney series will take place in Japan’s Meiji period.

Ace Attorney site Court-Records.net added to this report, tweeting that the game will be titled Dai Gyakuten Saiban – Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken, which translates to Grand Turnabout Trial – The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke.

It’s assumed that gamers will play as an ancestor of Phoenix Wright (known as Ryuichi Naruhodo in Japan). The character in the scan, below, looks like Phoenix Wright, complete with a kimono and katana.

Court-Records.net continued to say that Ace Attorney developer Shu Takumi will lead the project. It’s unclear at this time if a western release is planned for the game.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
