Ahead of Famitsu's report on the third case this Friday, we've got a new magazine article coming on Wednesday!
This week's article features the key art for the game, as well as info on case 3 and the return of Gina and Vortex. Case 3 involves an explosion at the World's Fair that kills a gentleman taking part in an experiment; the scientist in charge, Benjamin Dovinbow (as always, thank Ash for the much better transliteration), is arrested.
More to come on Wednesday when the magazine releases!
UPDATE: Full scans:
Spoiler: Scans
Case 3 takes place during the World's Fair in London. German scientist Benjamin Dovinbow has come to the fair to wow the crowd with a world-first piece of tech: a special cage that will teleport the cage - and whoever's inside - to the Crystal Tower. But when he throws the switch, there's a massive explosion, and the man taking part in the experiment is killed. There's just one strange thing: the body (and from the shot of the victim, the cage) actually did show up at the Crystal Tower! Chief Justice Vortex assigns Ryuu to the case, and he and Iris head out to investigate.
At the scene, Ryuu and Iris run into Gina, who's tagging along with Gregson as a detective-in-training. Or as she's very insistent on putting it: she's now _Inspector_ Lestrade! (Her dog is Inspector Toby.) At the trial, van Zieks calls a variety of witnesses, including a Bohemian boy Gotts who was visiting the World's Fair and witnessed the experiment from a flying balloon. We also get our first look at a new jury and two other unnamed witnesses. The game also confirms the return of the "Questioning" sytem when there are multiple witnesses on the stand, though that wasn't really in doubt.
Finally, we get a look at the DLC costumes for the game! Susato and Ryuu have costumes designed for them by Iris, while Holmes has... uh, a self-designed "Eastern outfit". Okay, Holmes...
[Court-Records is looking for a copywriting manager!]
Update 2: Official art, as well as our first look at the DGS1+2 packaging:

Dovenbow sounds kinda English, and looks more posh than the actual meaning of the name: do-binbo means "super-poor".

And Gina looks completely different now! She even has a doggy!
I wonder if the gentleman is someone super important.
Also, I think I know who the killer is here.

Also I couldn't have been the only one who read the title as "Gina Vortex" and was really confused about what that implied, right?

Gina looks real neat as well! If that new suit means what I think it means then that will be very neat.
Also, death by SCIENCE?! Honestly I'm surprised the series took this long for that to actually happen.

Good grief, that key art is FULL of mysterious gentlemen I don't recognize. I think one of them is Souseki? But the others... fff.... Who are these people? Is the one standing with his back to the camera all dramatically Gregson? If so, what's he got to be so shady about?

Oh, that's right, I didn't even think of him but I can totally see it now! I wonder if that's because of the western outfit, but he looks younger too.

Isn't Yuujin the guy in the far back though? On the right.

I made an attempt at upscaling the size of the image without doing too much quality damage. Interesting stuff. Is that person in the white coat tugging on a glove (left side, near the masked guy) Egg Benedict without the token top hat, perhaps?

Is the girl bwetween Susato and Gina the defendant from case 1? Didn't expect her to be important, but she's quite prominent on the key art.

The new alternate costumes look super snazzy. Susato looks like freaking Darklaw in that outfit. Nice

Also YES INSPECTOR LESTRADE. Okay, Detective-In-Training, but still.
Wow, this case looks really crazy so far. I mean, it's the World Fair so crazy's an inevitability, but wow I wanna know what's going on in this trial.
Those are some nice DLC outfits too.

That is! The guy I thought was Yuujin is actually the victim of this case! You just can't see the monocle from here.
Huh? Are we talking about the same guy? Because I don't see the victim of case 3 in the key art at all and the guy theorized to be Yuujin does still look an awful lot like him. (right next to Souseki. Bowler hat.)
Am I the only one who thinks the guy behind Barok looks an awful lot like him? Same hair and style of dress, just a slimmer face. And I think I see Watson on the opposite side, there. (and hellooo Japanese judge)
Also, sorry if this was answered before, but how do we get the DLC outfits? Are they pre-order only?

...You know what, I think my brain waxed a bit poetic while summarizing. I don't see anything specifically saying it's a faraday cage, just that it's electricity-based teleportation. Updating the first post to fix that.
It is very Tesla though! Tesla is even called out in the bonus column at the end showing DGS' influences.

Eh, tomato tomahto.
Funnily enough, I checked Tesla's Wikipedia page, and he actually did live around this time period - he'd be around 45 at the time of DGS 2. Hmmm...
Still, how did the body get into the Crystal Tower? Actually, how did the teleporter end up at the Crystal Tower? That thing's gotta be big enough that it would be difficult to move it around without anyone noticing...though I guess that talk's better suited for the speculation thread.

Just looked at the DLC costumes again. I just realised how great Sherlock's outfit is. Truly..Asian. Also Ryu's outfit looks like Phoenix's concept art from the Layton crossover.
Regarding the killer,
Spoiler:
Also who's the person at the back who resembles Nahyuta? And the person with s cleaver and a knife? Hmm

By the way, Dovenbow was my first guess for a British name, but if he's from the continent... Dovenboh or Dovinboh perhaps look more like Continental names (not German per se).

Box art looks nice, so many new characters. Calling it now, that girl next to Susato is definitely a Fey.
Jeez Gina, did you hit puberty between games? She looks so much older now (and her boobs seem to have gotten bigger
)Why is Jezail Brett Jr. testifying with Wario? Also one of the jurors looks like Jezail without her mask.

That's Haori Murasame, from Case 1.

Sadly, Nikola Tesla doesn't seem to be in the game (as far as we know). That part of the article is mainly on how Tesla's an influence on DGS (especially for this case).

Damn, I really wanted Tesla to really make an appearance.
Haori does looks weirdly like a Fey though, doesn't she?

Flashback case seeming probable.

I'm thinking the guy next to young Barok might be Asougi's dad. If I remember right, he was referenced in the first game and so, if we're doing a flashback case he's gotta be in it.

Gina was 17 in DGS1 and now is probably 18? There is no big time skip between the games.
