Worldwide developer and publisher Capcom has announced that it’s bringing the popular courtroom drama series, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney to North American shores in Q1 2008. Being the fourth game in the series, players will be introduced to an entirely new storyline and main character: Apollo Justice.

Apollo is a bit of an amateur attorney, but nevertheless, he’ll need to visit crime scenes, gather evidence and question key witnesses to prove his client’s innocence in the courtroom. Throughout the game, players will be squaring off against the flamboyant prosecutor Klavier Gavin who’s quite intelligent in the legal field and is the lead singer in his successful rock band, the Gavinners. With all this intensity and heat, Apollo won’t fight the legal battle alone as assistant female magician Trucy and cultra-cool mentor Kristoph Gavin as will provide him with invaluable knowledge and aid to win him even the toughest of cases.

Expect to see Apollo in court in early 2008.
