Since 2013, Capcom has released three games in theAce Attorneyfranchise in Japan. Those games includePhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice, which was released worldwide in 2016. The other two games, however, remained exclusive to Japan. They areThe Great Ace Attorneyand its sequel, and the reason they were never localized was never fully explained. Years later, it seems like Capcom is ready to change that. A newThe Great Ace Attorneycompilation has been rated for release in Taiwan, though it’s since been removed from public view.
It’s namedThe Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a combo pack featuring bothThe Great Ace AttorneyandThe Great Ace Attorney 2.Taiwan’s rating board has evaluated the release not just for the Nintendo Switch, but also for PC and PlayStation. Given that it’s a relatively straight forward listing, there are no further details regarding the game. As such, it may be some time before the compilation is released, if at all.
