I remember a few people saying that there wont be any court in this game, then I was readingthis thread and when i saw this screen (look below) i thought this looked suspiciously like in-court gameplay.

Ive been with ace attorney from the start, and by the looks at that text at the top, that says "Objection!". And also judging by the body under the text, it seems he is looking right at edgesworth. Just like the start of each trial in every Ace attorney. So, what do you guys think?

I actually didn't realize that until now xD.

I hope they will release a screen with him in court soon.

That's Edgeworth's office

Isn't Edgeworth getting a new rival in this game other than Phoenix?

It's not officially confirmed but there is a new character (besides Mikumo, the new girl character) called Rou Shiryuu who features on the boxart. I'm pretty sure he, as he hates Prosecutors I read somewhere on Court Records, will take the role of Edgeworth's rival.

I'd love Phoenix to make a cameo though..

I'm pretty sure Phoenix will be in it. I mean in one of the trailers I saw a screen shot with Edgeworth facing Phoenix in court.

Yeah, I'm thinking he might, in another thread somewhere (I think here?) there's a screen that shows one of the murders occurs in an alley behind the Wright & Co. Offices building.

How can Phoenix not be part of the game? In Apollo Justice he had a nice appearance too (actually loved him there ), so he's bound to make his return.
Imagine being put down by Nick, Mia by his side and you're just getting frustrated as hell as Edgeworth XD

I'd be very surprised if he wasn't there, how can you have an Ace Attorney game without Phoenix? I bet they will save him until the last case though, like they did with Edgeworth in the 2nd and 3rd game
