The Ace Attorney series isn’t going anywhere, Capcom confirms

The Ace Attorney series has a strong and loyal fan base – however far from the biggest. Despite this, Capcom appears committed to continuing this much-loved though relatively niche series, stating that “We definitely have a lot of directions we want to further grow in, including mixed media.”

In an interview conducted by the Japanese publication NetLab (and translated by Nintendo Everything), Capcom’s Kenichi Hashimoto spoke on the relative success of the Ace Attorney franchise as well as the publisher’s commitment to future titles, saying:

“The Ace Attorney series won’t stop producing content. We definitely have a lot of directions we want to further grow in, including mixed media. There’s things we’d want to talk about when the time comes that we can reveal something, but for now I can’t say much.”

While certainly one of Capcom’s more recognisable franchises, as a series Ace Attorney only recently surpassed 10 million copies sold despite being over 20 years old.

Regardless, it is encouraging to see Capcom willing to continue investing in its more niche franchises. Perhaps Dino Crisis could be next?
