- Quick Answer: Capcom announced Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies VR, a VR-only port of the 2013 3DS game, leading to fan disappointment.
Capcom is on a hot streak, and they’re getting a bit experimental. Sadly, it’s come at the expense of Phoenix Wright fans, who have been handed a classic monkey’s paw situation: a new game has been announced… but it’s a VR-only title. In fact, it’s not even a brand-new game.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies VR will be the latest installment in a franchise that hasn’t received a true mainline entry since 2016’s Spirit of Justice for the 3DS. Since then, fans have only gotten localized compilations and the occasional spin-off.
What’s tragic for Ace Attorney purists is that, as mentioned, this isn’t an original project locked behind VR headsets; it’s a port of a 2013 Nintendo 3DS game. It is the fifth mainline title in the series, to be exact—the one that follows up-and-coming attorney Apollo Justice as he works and learns under the tutelage of Phoenix Wright himself.
Why Capcom decided to port this specific game into VR over a decade after its original release beats me, but the community reactions are exactly what you’d expect after years of anticipating a Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright modern port or a long-overdue Ace Attorney 7 reveal.
I don’t blame Capcom for getting a bit weird lately. They are riding a massive wave of critical and commercial positivity, and the fact that they are still willing to take creative risks is usually something worth celebrating.
Sure, tentpole releases like Resident Evil Requiem or Onimusha: Way of the Sword are front and center for the company, but seeing neat little projects like Pragmata finally see the light of day is wonderful. And whatever your gripes with how Capcom treats the Ace Attorney franchise, a VR game that lets you slam your desk and point your finger in 3D space isn't inherently lazy.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies VR is set to release in 2027 for Meta VR glasses, Meta Quest 3/3S, Quest Pro, and Quest 2.
