This week at E3 2016, Capcom revealed the story and some new details for the upcoming western release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. In addition, the game has a playable demo at the E3 Expo.
The demof or the game features the monk-in-training and tour-guide Ahlbi Ur’gaid, who has been accused of stealing the Kingdom of Khura’in’s national treasure, “The Founder’s Orb,” and murdering its guard, Paht Rohl. Per the legal system for his kingdom, if the defendant is proven guilty, so is the representing attorney. As a result, the kingdom has had an absence of lawyers for years, but Phoenix Wright is in town. So he’s decided to take the case to defend Ahlbi against the returning prosecutor Gaspen Payne.
The Kingdom of Khura’in has some strange customs for its trials. In the courtrooms for the kingdoms, seance trials ultimately decide the fate of the defendants. As a result, the Royal priestess Rayfa is able to divine the final moments of a victim’s life in the courtroom’s Pool of Souls. The victim’s memories are not limited to sight alone, but a victim’s final sensations are also laid bare for the court to consider before a final judgment is made. In order to prove Ahlbi’s innocence, gamers as Phoenix Wright have to find inconsistencies with Rayfa’s divinations of the vision and the memory itself.
Phoenix Wright: Aace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is due out for the Nintendo 3DS systems later this September. It will be available at the Nintendo eShop for $29.99.
