Fans of the popular Ace Attorney series can now get an early preview of the upcoming Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. Capcom has released a demo for this eagerly anticipated bundle, allowing players to experience the beginnings of both titles included in the collection. The demo is available for download on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam.
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection brings together Ace Attorney Investigations and its sequel, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit. Unlike the main series, where players assume the role of Phoenix Wright, this collection focuses on Miles Edgeworth. Known for his rivalry with Wright, Edgeworth steps into the spotlight as players guide him through complex investigations and courtroom dramas.
The newly released demo allows players to explore the initial segments of both games. Those who progress through the demo will benefit from being able to transfer their save data to the full version upon its release. This feature ensures a smooth transition from the trial experience to the complete game. The full Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is set to launch on September 6, 2024.
In addition to the demo, Capcom has announced a pre-order bonus for the collection. Players who pre-order will receive a special 5-track set of in-game music, which can be enjoyed in the game’s gallery. This bonus is designed to enhance the immersive experience of the Ace Attorney universe, encouraging fans to secure their copies ahead of the official launch.
The physical release of the collection will be somewhat limited. North American gamers will have access to a physical copy only for the Nintendo Switch. Conversely, physical versions will be available for the PlayStation 4 in European and Japanese markets. North American fans interested in a PS4 version may need to consider importing from these regions, reflecting a broader trend towards digital formats as physical sales decline.
The Ace Attorney series is celebrated for its gripping narrative and dramatic courtroom encounters. The games challenge players to gather evidence, question witnesses, and present their findings in court, all while navigating a web of intricate plot twists and memorable characters.
Capcom has been actively remastering and re-releasing the Ace Attorney games to meet modern standards and audience expectations. The release of the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection represents another step in this ongoing effort, underscoring the company’s commitment to keeping the series engaging and accessible to both long-time fans and newcomers.
As the September 6 launch date approaches, excitement for the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection continues to build. The availability of the demo provides a valuable opportunity for enthusiasts to reconnect with the series and prepare for the full release. With Capcom’s continued dedication to revitalising the franchise, it is likely that the Ace Attorney series will remain a significant presence in interactive storytelling and legal drama for the foreseeable future.
