The game has been in development for a year, so it's still too early to guess a release date. But it's pretty much what you would expect: an AAI sequel. Lots of cameos, same trio (Edgeworth, Kay and Gumshoe) and same gameplay system for now.

Great to hear (I like all five), though I preferred the Phoenix Wright games over Apollo and Miles Edgeworth.

Would be nice if one of the stories (Say the last one) got you to find the murderer as in the other game, then you had to prove him guilty against Phoenix Wright in court to finish off.

agreed. i'm still excited for this but i know its not going to match the wright series.
looking at the screens, looks like they wont be putting in anything new, which is a bit of a shame.

Actually, they said they were adding alot of new features, but they're withholding information for now. I'm not to syked, but I did appreciate the phoenix reference on the plane. Also, I'd be happy to see Viola Cadaverini in this game, she didn't get nearly enough airtime in TnT. Plus, it looks like they added a new word (like Eureka! and Objection!...but you know...a new one).

Awesome. I loved the first AAI so I absolutely can't wait for this one.

And is that Shelly de Killer I see in one of those screenshots? :o

the debut trailer for it is out.

looks like the new system is something called logic chess, i'm guessing it's something like the psych locks in phoenix wright.
and it looks like shelly de killer will be making an appearence.

ew. Personally, I felt that AAI was the worst game in the series. The 'logic' was so horribly hard, oh god. I did, however, like the fact that you could walk around. And the characters. >_> I want another trilogy of Phoenix games, haha. With moving. :O

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed that we finally get an announcement for a new GS game and it's a direct sequel to Investigations. :/ I played the original but I didn't really enjoy it. It was okay for a one-time spinoff in the series but I didn't like its direction as a whole. I'll probably still play this if only for the cameos (...so long as they aren't all Oldbag again ffffffffffffffff) but I'm just not looking forward to it.

I wish they'd come out with GS5 soon. The total lack of announcement about it is making me wonder if it'll ever happen, and if it doesn't, I'd rather they just cut off the series and start something new with the same writers and producers and developers than get into the spinoff business.
