It looks like The Great Ace Attorney series is headed for the PC. This is different from the great Ace Attorney series, which was released for PC in 2019. Let me explain.
Gematsu detected that The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles received a PC rating from the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee. The Great Ace Attorney games are derived from the Phoenix Wright detective games.
This is not a big surprise, as The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles’ existence was first revealed as a consequence of Capcom’s data breach in November 2020. Chronicles would group The Great Ace Attorney: The adventure of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō and his sequels , The Resolve of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, in the same way that Ace Attorney Trilogy bundled the first three PC games.
The Great Ace Attorney’s games move the main series’ court investigations into the early 20th century. They were released as Nintendo 3DS exclusives in 2015 and 2017, but never localized to English or released outside of Japan.
Unlike the fourth game, Apollo Justice, these spin-offs have Shu Takumi in charge, who was the director and writer of the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. At the same time, it adds juries to the trials, instead of just a single judge, an appeal first introduced in the fourth Ace Attorney game.
Hopefully, the package will be officially announced soon, so we can all pretend to be surprised. In the meantime, check out Katharine and Matthew’s joint review of the Ace Attorney trilogy. They love these games so much that I feel like I’m writing this story just for them.
