This could mean that there is a new game coming (I hope), but it most likely (also) means that they are gearing up to port all of the Ace Attorney games to a new system. I love the series, but they really squeeze every cent out of it.

Hopefully they will port the game engine and then feel confident enough to release a new game.

Hashimoto said Ace Attorney seems to “have lots of fans in their late teens and early twenties, especially from North America.” With the Apollo Justice re-release, Capcom “made sure the contents of the game were also something new fans could buy too.”

Cynical reading "These fans have not played all of the previous games and don't have the older systems, so we need to get the games on the new systems that they own."

Makes sense to port them in this case. More than in most series with an overarching story, lots of context in later Ace Attorney games is missed if you haven't played the earlier games. It's not to Kingdom Hearts level (the above only really applies to the main entries, you don't need to play Investigations or GAA), but still more than most.

While I try not to delve too deeply into marketing speak, I think they are only porting all the games because they are selling well, and if they are selling well enough, new entries would surely follow.

Capcom is doing well for Resident Evil, by both remaking older inaccessible games and creating new ones, hopefully they will do the same with Ace Attorney and their other franchises too.
