Ace Attorney 6 adds new rival Nayuta Sadmadhi

'A trial is a ritual to mourn the soul of the victim.'

Capcom has revealed Nayuta Sadmadhi, a new prosecutor and rival set to appear in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6.

Here’s his description:

A prosecutor of the Kurain Kingdom. As an international prosecutor, he’s qualified to carry out trials in courtrooms around the world. He has his own ideas when it comes to trials, and believes that a trial is a ritual to mourn the soul of the victim, and the sinner’s judgment will bring the the soul salvation.
He considers lawyers to be those who prevent that salvation, and challenges them with strong hostility. He has a soft demeanor, and normally speaks politely, but when it comes to the criminals and lawyers he detests, he is ruthless while still maintaining a calm expression.

In addition to Nayuta, Capcom also confirmed that the “Mood Matrix” system introduced in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies will return in Ace Attorney 6.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 is due out for 3DS in Japan in 2016. A western release is also planned.
