  "account": "Meta has unveiled an exclusive VR iteration of the Ace Attorney franchise: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies VR. Scheduled for release in 2027, the game is only available on Meta VR Glasses, Meta Quest 3/3s, Quest Pro, and Quest 2. Fans were understandably puzzled by this announcement, as the last Ace Attorney release, Ace Attorney 6: Spirit of Justice, came out in 2016. Dual Destinies VR is a rebuilt version of the 2013 Nintendo 3DS game, adding VR capabilities such as object manipulation using hand tracking. The official description states that players can \"walk through\" 3D crime scenes and examine evidence from multiple angles. The subreddit for Ace Attorney fans is flooded with disbelief, with one user jokingly stating, \"Anything but AA7, or honestly anything that makes sense.\"",
  "summary": "Finally! A new Ace Attorney game was announced! But hold on, it’s not actually a brand new Ace Attorney game. Oh, and it’s VR exclusive.",
