The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney video game franchise has been around for a number of years now and it’s grown to be quite popular. Overall, the game follows Phoenix Wright, a rookie defense attorney, who goes through various crimes to locate clues to use within the court trial.

Despite the first game first releasing into Japanese markets in 2001, gamers will soon once again get the game in a new compilation release. Capcom is putting out Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms sometime in 2019.
While we’re unsure if there will be any changes, this adventure title will give players a chance to relive the game after over ten years have passed since the first title found its way into the western market back in 2005 for the Nintendo DS. However, we’ll be keeping out eye out on if Capcom will be putting anything new or unique into the game compilation, but we may be waiting awhile for news as the game does not have a specific release date attached.

Journey To The Savage Planet is the first game from Typhoon Studios, a development team that consists of past industry veterans who have worked on such titles as Far Cry 4 and Batman: Arkham Origins.

Twin Mirror
- Developer: Dontnod Entertainment
- Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
- Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
- Release: 2019
Dontnod Entertainment has a new episodic adventure title for players to enjoy. The development studio may be best known for their Life is Strange series but the next episodic journey coming this year that’s not attached to the Life is Strange franchise is Twin Mirror. This is an upcoming psychological thriller which follows a protagonist named Sam who returns back to his old hometown to attend a funeral service of his best friend. Things take a turn for the worse when he awakens with no memories of the previous day while covered in blood.
The development team is setting players up for a mature adventure title and Dontnod Entertainment definitely has experience in delivering fans with an adventure. We haven’t seen too much in terms of the game so far, but if it’s anything like Life is Strange and Vampyr, players will be exploring the surroundings along with being presented with several choices in which will have bigger consequences within the game. Regardless, this is one title that is turning some heads since its announcement and we’re certainly going to keep tabs on it the development team slowly releases information on just what players are up against within the in-game world.
