Amata Adapts 2013’S Dual Destinies Into VR Under Capcom License

Amata K.K. revealed Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies VR in Tokyo on September 24, 2026, a VR production licensed from Capcom and scheduled for Meta Quest headsets and Meta VR Glasses in 2027. The studio said in its announcement press release that the project marks the Ace Attorney series’ debut in VR format.

A teaser website and an announcement trailer accompanied the reveal, and the site dates the trailer September 24, 2026. A store page on the Meta Horizon Store is linked from the release, the teaser site includes an option to add the game to a wishlist, and the announcement materials include a press kit hosted on the same site.

The title being adapted is not a new entry. The original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies was released in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS, and the release says that game is being updated for Quest through the official license agreement with Capcom. Amata is listed as both developer and publisher, with the copyright held by Capcom and licensed to Amata.

Platforms, Languages, and Release Plans

The listed supported hardware spans Meta VR Glasses, Meta Quest 3 and 3S, Quest Pro, and Quest 2, with distribution through the Meta Horizon Store. Dual Destinies VR is a single-player game rated IARC 12+, and the listed languages are Japanese, English, French, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

The release classifies the genre as Courtroom Battle / Narrative Adventure and lists playtime at 15-plus hours. Downloadable content is planned, the price is to be announced, and the release date is given only as 2027.

Story and VR Features

Amata’s overview describes players stepping into the courtroom in VR, interacting with dubious witnesses and questionable evidence to prove a client’s innocence, and delivering objections face-to-face. The story follows Phoenix Wright’s return as a lawyer after eight years, in what the teaser site identifies as the fifth mainline game in the series. It opens inside a badly damaged courtroom, and players take on the roles of Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes as they work to prove their clients innocent of all charges. Together, the three attorneys set out to end the “Dark Age of the Law,” which the official description characterizes as a period “where the pursuit of victory trumps the pursuit of the truth.”

The teaser site presents the game’s additions under four labeled features covering controls, crime-scene investigation, story, and core mechanics. Under “Shout It, Point It,” the game is fully playable with controllers, while optional voice input triggers the series’ signature “OBJECTION!” and hand-tracked gestures let players point at witnesses and physically handle evidence. The voice and gesture options sit on top of full controller support. “Hands-On Investigation” renders crime scenes as explorable three-dimensional spaces, with evidence examined from any angle through hand-tracking and motion controls. “Engaging Story-Driven Gameplay” covers a narrative of twists, emotional stakes, and colorful characters spread across multiple episodic cases. Under “Classic Mystery-Solving Mechanics in VR,” the studio said the game keeps the series’ established loop of logic, observation, and deduction, applied to expose contradictions and solve cases inside what it calls a fully immersive and interactive environment.

The teaser site also recounts the series’ origins. The first Ace Attorney entry launched in October 2001 on the Game Boy Advance, a release the studio describes as the world’s first “Courtroom Battle” game. It followed an attorney fighting to save his clients in court by uncovering the truth behind each case, and the site credits its turnabouts on hopeless situations, its entertaining mysteries, and its cast of colorful characters with drawing a following that has continued since.

Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies VR is listed as coming in 2027, with pricing and a firm launch date still to be announced.
