Pre-announcement
After the release of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, an interview with its producer Motohide Eshiro revealed that he had contacted core series producer Minae Matsukawa offering his services in developing a new Ace Attorney game.

Series creator Shu Takumi originally intended for the series to end at Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations and later Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. However, he expressed in interviews that he was reconsidering his decision to end his involvement in the series due to the positive fan reaction that the series has gained over the years. In one particular interview with VideoGamer.com at E3 2010, Takumi expressed an interest in taking the Ace Attorney series to the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo's upcoming portable game console.
