Having been confirmed you know I'm not the kind of guy to keep secrets from my gaming public so it's my pleasure to tell you that Apollo Justice is confirmed to return in Ace Attorney V! As we all remember the mysterious and unfortunate circumstances fell upon Phoenix Wright which in a way forced him into retirement but Apollo works for Phoenix so all is right with the universe (He's gotta come back someway somehow right?)
Apollo's image is going to be slightly altered with his eye and arms mysteriously covered in bandages.
Ace Attorney V will be released some time this year for Japan with no release date for North America but stay tuned and i will update when it becomes official.
