Capcom dropped a new trailer today that showcases new gameplay mechanics for The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.
Developers said players will assume the role of an aspiring Japanese attorney named Ryunosuke Naruhodo, an ancestor of the courtroom legend himself, Phoenix Wright.
“With the help of his legal aid Susato Mikatoba and London’s great detective Herlock Sholmes, Ryunosuke will solve the mysteries behind 10 high-stakes cases set in the late 19th century during Japan’s Meiji Period and England’s Victorian Era,” developers said in a press release.
Players get a good look at classic Ace Attorney courtroom and investigation game sequences alongside two new mechanics: the Summation Examination and Dance of Deduction.
During Investigation sequences players will gather evidence from crime scenes, collect witness statements and search for clues key to the investigation.
“In a new addition to the series, Ryunosuke will team up with Sholmes to engage in a show-stopping ‘Dance of Deduction.’ In these new sequences, players are tasked with correcting Sholmes’s outlandish conclusions to uncover the true facts of the case,” developers said.
During Courtroom Battles, players will control the fate of the accused through evidence and witness questioning.
“New to the series is “Summation Examination,” in which players must point out the inconsistencies between jurors’ statements in order to move the case forward,” developers explained.
Developers released the first video in a new Case Preview series today on Twitter and fans will get a new video each week leading up to the game’s launch next mio
