Capcom has officially announced its TGS plans for this year, so I’m hoping for Ace Attorney news, as always.

After all, I did say I’d be looking ahead to TGS as the next most likely place for it!

According to Capcom’s official TGS site, not only will they have their already-announced titles (including Monster Hunter Stories 3) on exhibition, but they’ll also be holding an online event.

It will be on September 24 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and feature “all the latest Capcom news.” That sounds like the perfect time for a new game announcement.

Last year’s TGS show was when they had “an announcement from the Ace Attorney series” that turned out to be a series overview trailer, so maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up too much. But I still think Capcom releasing both Ace Attorney collections last year makes the most sense if they were clearing the way for a new announcement this year.

And if they don’t… well, at least I’m interested in their major upcoming games, so watching it won’t be a total loss.

Ace Attorney 7? The Great Ace Attorney Investigations? Will my hopes be fulfilled at TGS this year, or will I be left disappointed again? What do you think?

Just over a year ago, during my review of Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash, I mentioned how the upcoming Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion had been delayed to 2025.

Well, here we are a year later, and it’s been delayed to 2026. (A PlayStation 5 version was also announced.)

The delay is a bit worrying, especially on top of the previous one. Still, it had looked a little rough when it was shown before, so here’s hoping the delays will let them make it into a much better project.

In the meantime, the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack has been confirmed to be coming west for the Switch. This collection includes the 2021 Corpse Party Remake, Book of Shadows, Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash, and Blood Drive.

I’ve already played the first three, and Blood Drive is available on the Switch separately, so I don’t know if I’ll pick up the Tetralogy Pack or not. Still, it would be nice to have a physical copy of the games, and it’s great to see this collection come west while we wait for the new game.

The real question is if we’ll ever hear anything about Dead Patient again…

Are you interested in the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack? How do you feel about Darkness Distortion being delayed again?

It’s that time of year again, when RGG Studio says their next live stream will have a big announcement and everyone goes crazy wondering what it might be.

Or in this case, jumping to conclusions about what it might be.

Not only is the live stream going to have a big announcement, but they’ve been giving behind-the-scenes looks at games in the series, and this episode will focus on Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan.

As a result, a lot of fans are hoping they’re going to announce a Kenzan remaster/remake, and I have to admit that was the first thing I thought, too.

But as much as I’m hoping for a Kenzan re-release, we probably shouldn’t get our hopes up just yet. RGG Studio does these broadcasts on a regular basis, and I’m not sure they’ve ever had a game announcement in them. Back in 2022, their upcoming live stream was said to have a “sneak peek trailer,” but it didn’t have any announcements there, just the announcement of the first RGG Summit.

So I feel like the most we can realistically expect is that this live stream will include the announcement of the next RGG Summit, and that’s where we’ll get a new game announcement.

Just recently, there was an article saying they have new announcements planned for TGS, too.

I’m excited to learn more about Stranger Than Heaven, but I’d love to see some new announcements (even though I still need to finish Infinite Wealth and start the pirate game). Personally, I’d be most interested in a new Judgment game and a Kenzan re-release.

What do you think RGG Studio’s August 28 announcement will be, and what game do you think we’ll see announced next?
