I’m certain the phrases “new” and “Ace Lawyer sport” have functioned as a sleeper agent’s activation phrases for a few of you, and these are phrases that Capcom themselves have form of put collectively, however let’s decelerate earlier than we get carried away. As noticed by Mega Man fansite Rockman Nook, Capcom have launched their built-in report for 2025, which for essentially the most half is boring, company nonsense. Right here comes the however. However! It additionally seems to counsel that the developer is considering new methods it will probably additional develop collection like Ace Lawyer, in addition to Mega Man and Satan Might Cry.
Apologies for the enterprise converse right here, however that is what Capcom needed to say: “Capcom owns a wealth of worldwide standard manufacturers, reminiscent of Mega Man, Satan Might Cry, and Ace Lawyer. We intention to broaden our consumer base and enhance our efficiency by means of new releases, remakes, and ports of titles in these collection to new {hardware}. By enhancing model energy and cultivating loyal fan bases, we are going to develop these into core IPs.” Only one second, want to scrub off the stench of buzz phrases actual fast.
Proper, again! Now, that clearly does not 100% affirm a brand new sport for the likes of any of the talked about titles. Nevertheless, at this level, so far as I am conscious, there’s actually solely the Professor Layton and Ace Lawyer crossover sport that is left to be ported, so maybe there’s hope for each this and one thing new too, you rabid Phoenix x Miles shippers.
Within the case of Mega Man, there hasn’t been a brand new mainline sport since 2018’s Mega Man 11, leaving ample room for a reawakening. Satan Might Cry 5 got here out in 2019, too, so it isn’t shocking Capcom is trying to breathe some life again into that one, even when it received a brand new cellular sport final yr. The developer has carried out fairly nicely for itself with Resident Evil, Monster Hunter (nicely, not a lot you, Wilds), and Road Fighter lately, so it is not precisely a shock that they are fascinated by a much bigger slice of pie. Now all we’d like is a Darkish Void reboot, the collection all people desperately desires a comeback for. Proper? Proper?
