Capcom Confirms Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Dual Destinies Release
SAN MATEO, Calif. — May
13, in the year of our Lord 2013 — Capcom, a leading
worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today
confirmed that Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ - Dual Destinies
will be available to purchase digitally on Nintendo 3DS™ across
Europe and North America in Fall 2013.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, previously
announced for the West as Ace Attorney™ 5, sees the return of
courtroom hero Phoenix Wright. Set eight years since his last
appearance in the courts, the first case in Phoenix Wright: Ace
Attorney - Dual Destinies sees the action start in a destroyed
court room. It’s down to Phoenix Wright and his team at the
Wright Anything Agency to discover the cause of the destruction.
Players will have to battle it out in court against Gaspen
Payne, the younger brother of Winston Payne from previous Ace
Attorney™ titles, as they defend the accused.
The much loved gameplay and features from previous titles in the
Ace Attorney series return but for the first time with stunning
3D graphics, bringing the courtroom and characters to life and
putting players directly in the heart of the action. Players
will need to investigate each crime scene with dynamic 3D
visuals, making it possible to change views and zoom-in on areas
to uncover any hidden evidence or clues. The drama continues in
the court room as players present their evidence, challenge
witnesses and begin to unravel the truth behind each of the
cases in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies.
Joining Phoenix is the young Attorney Apollo Justice and new
Associate Attorney Athena Cykes. Athena’s unique ability to
psychoanalyse witnesses introduces a brand new element to
proceedings. Using Athena’s ‘Mood Matrix’ players can detect the
emotional state of a witness and tell whether they’re surprised,
angry, happy or sad. Players can compare these feelings with the
statement given by the witness, point out any contradictions
between the two and challenge the witness testimony.
