Ace Attorney fans have been hoping for the announcement of a new entry for many years now, but today, we got a surprise instead. Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies VR is a virtual reality version of the fifth mainline game in Capcom's lawyer-themed adventure series, and it's coming to Meta platforms next year. You can watch the reveal trailer below.
This port gives Dual Destinies a more hands-on approach, allowing players to pick up evidence to inspect, examine environments for clues in first person, and use gestures and voice commands during cross-examinations: You can literally yell "Objection!" to object to a witness' contradiction. You don't physically inhabit the protagonist 100% of the time, however – dialogue during trials still involves seeing characters in third person, meaning you'll still get to see Apollo, Phoenix, and Athena's over-the-top animations.
According to the game's store page, it will come to Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest, though developer Amata K.K.'s description of the game omits the original Meta Quest from that lineup. It drops sometime in 2027.
Personally, I find this to be an odd move for the series. Capcom has been generous and thorough with its HD collections of the older Ace Attorney titles. After the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection dropped in 2024, the only remaining Phoenix Wright adventure you couldn't play on modern platforms was his crossover with Professor Layton. As such, it seemed like the only next step was a brand new entry, so a VR adaptation is particularly surprising.
