Will we get a release date?

Last September it was announced that the upcoming Ace Attorney 5 would be making it over to Western shores. However, since then news has been relatively thin on the ground...

Hold it!

It appears Capcom's senior vice-president Christian Svensson has left some evidence in the Capcom Unity forums. In a small post he declared that more news on Ace Attorney 5 will be coming soon.

We'll have new AA5 news in the not so distant future to share though. We did confirm it was coming Westward back at [Tokyo Game Show].

An interesting clue from Capcom, we wonder what the news will bring. A release date would be very nice indeed.

The last time we saw a game from the Ace Attorney series in the West was in 2010 with Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and we haven't seen Phoenix Wright as the main protagonist since Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations.

While the West has been deprived of the spiky-haired lawyer, he's been teaming up with another gaming icon in Japan in Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney. We've still not heard anything on the localisation of that one.

Are you looking forward to more courtroom drama with Ace Attorney 5? Let us know in the comments section below.
