As some of you are likely aware, Capcom has confirmed that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 will eventually be making its way to the West. The quirky game centered around legal battles will be starring not only Phoenix Wright, but also Apollo Justice. There's lots to look forward to about this game and while there's still no word on when we can expect to receive it, a recent issue of Famitsu revealed a whole slew of new details surrounding the gameplay and the setting.
Thanks to Siliconera, these details have been translated into English and are as follows:
- Phoenix's story will take place in the Kurain Kingdom, while Apollo's story will be set in Japan
- Most citizens of the Kurain Kingdom follow the Kurain Religion, which is primarily centered around spirits and mediums
- The Kurain Supreme Court is located inside the Jinn Temple, where proceedings are ruled by the "Divine Message of the Spirits"
- Gaspen Payne is back and has been an undefeated prosecutor in the Kurain Kingdom ever since being chased out of the Japanese legal world
- Leyfa Padma Kurain is princess medium of the kingdom and has the power to see a victim's last moments prior to death
- She'll be known as the "Oracle of Spirits" and will use her powers in court to project her visions of a victim's death onto the "Water Mirror" in the middle of the courtroom
- Whatever appears on the mirror cannot be disputed and will be taken as absolute fact
- Phoenix will be fighting an uphill battle and will have to find contradictions in the visions to disprove what is depicted
What do you think? Will you be picking this up whenever it launches? What do you think of the mystic angle to Phoenix's storyline? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Can't wait. Day 1 buy
Day 1 purchase no matter what, LOVE Phoenix Wright. I hope we get to see Mia, Maya, and Pearls again. I miss those girls.
I guess Apollo will stay in Japan/America and solve cases with Trucy and Athena regarding the mysterious ancestor of Mr. Wright that learned British Law.
Hype! o((>_<))o
So pleased they are keeping Apollo in again! He is one of my favourite characters from the franchise
This will be good
Day one! Can't wait, my most anticipated game next year (please don't slip to 2017) beside Fire Emblem.
Wow, sounds really cool! But where's Athena? I liked her in Dual Destinies and want to play as her again.
Day 1 purchase... I mean download!
I will get it Day 1 or even if I break street date. Oh please, let this be a physical copy and I will gladly pay 60 usd for maybe if they can toss in a soundtrack cd as well.
On a contrary, I don't really like Apollo Character and he took too much screen time out of Phoenix 5 already. My fav is Trials and tribulations. If it happen in Kurain then can we expect Maya??? Can we at least control her in court for a change.
This was a Day 1 buy even before it was 'officially' revealed. I LOVE Ace Attorney (especially the Phoenix games), and am looking forward to see some familiar faces who we haven't seen since T&T but were referenced in DD (like Maya).
I like the mystic powers approach. Sounds interesting. Hope they use it right.
@Spectra_Twilight They already did that in Bridge to the Turnabout.
But yeah, same concept. It's the way cases in this series have always been, just with a sp00py way of displaying it.
@raccoonboy Well, there are still a LOT of loose ends untied with Apollo Justice in Dual Destinies. Maybe this game will finish his story.
And as for Maya, they HAVE TO bring her back. They're in the country that her family's channeling technique was founded in, for God's sake.
Definitely will be getting this when it comes out. Hopefully that will be sometime next year.
Can't wait. I love the supernatural elements of Phoenix games. Glad to put Phoenix in a place where that is a main part of the culture.
I just hope this means Maya is back
Big fan of the Phoenix Wright series. I never finished Dual Destinies but I should probably get on that. I'm sure this will be eShop only which sucks but I'll get it regardless.
I'm glad this is coming to west and also waiting for the fan translation of Great Ace Attorney because that one propably doesn't get an official translation.
Day one for sure
I'll be getting this (^_^)
GET HYPE! This makes up somewhat for the lack of a western release of The Great Ace Attorney. Can't wait!
Not only is Nintendo Life way late to the party on this news, but Apollo will not exclusively have cases in Japanifornia. He is seen in the trailer in a Kurain court.
@Spectra_Twilight I agree. The water mirror may show the "truth", but it's not gonna be the "entire truth". Or maybe it's showing an ambiguous image taken by the prosecution side as proof of guilt, whereas Phoenix manages to pull out a contradiction from his ass in the Nick of time.
