In an unexpected announcement today, Street Fighter 6, one of the biggest PVP fighting game franchises, just announced a
Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo DLC where you can play as the Steel Samurai from Ace Attorney. It is titled the
Turnabout Gala Fighting Pass. To be precise, it is simply a custom skin that you can put on any character.
Not only that, but it adds on bonus features such as Ace Attorney music, an Objection emote during battle, and other extra visual themes for use in game.
The available songs include:
Pursuit – Cornered from the first game,
Pursuit – Questioned from Justice for All, and
Pursuit – Caught from Trials and Tribulations.
... Although unfortunately, no actual
Steel Samurai Theme. We can forgive them, right?
As shown in the
trailer, there are enough customizations to give a character Phoenix Wright-themed outfits and skins, and to have him yell
Objection! as well as show the opponent on the witness stand. Although sadly, the Objection sound isn't the
original one some of us are attached to.
This feels like the first kind of tribute a fighting game has given to Ace Attorney since
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or
Project X Zone 2, but in this case, the graphics are insanely detailed and top of the line! It's been about a decade since something like this has happened.
The official announcement and trailer can be found
here.
Street Fighter 6 is available to play online for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.
