All Articles: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy

Capcom has announced (via the Capcom-Unity blog) that the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy will be released for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One on April 9.

Fans likely won’t lodge an OBJECTION to the new features available in the Trilogy, which will include “a modern UI and other improvements for current consoles,” as well as multi-language support. But if you need a refresher on the first three games in the Phoenix Wright franchise, don’t worry, the editors at Capcom-Unity have got you covered:

Starting with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, step into the bright blue suit and put on the shiny new attorney’s badge of Phoenix as he takes on his earliest trials, beginning with defending his childhood friend from being falsely accused of murder. Proving the innocence of the hapless Larry Butz is just the beginning, though, as Phoenix begins to uncover a mystery years in the making. With the help of Maya Fey, a spirit medium and Phoenix’s self-assigned assistant, join Phoenix as he goes head-to-head against brutal prosecutors like Miles Edgeworth and Manfred von Karma and learns what it means to be a lawyer.

Taking place several months after the first game, Phoenix Wright: Justice For All sees Phoenix taking on new cases as a rising star among attorneys, even as he comes under attack from the deadly whip of Franziska von Karma. With a prosecutor prodigy attempting to tear him down at every turn in court, Phoenix will need all the help he can get! Fortunately, Phoenix has the power of the new Psyche-Lock system on his side, allowing him to see into people’s hearts and unlock the truth he needs to win the day in court.

The third game in the original trilogy, Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations starts off with a different tone, putting Phoenix in the hot seat of the accused! Taking a leap back in time, step into the shoes of a different attorney: Mia Fey, older sister of Maya Fey and Phoenix’s future boss. Mia’s first case is to defend a young art student by the name of Phoenix Wright in a trial that will set the stage for the rest of the game’s events. Explore the twists and turns of the legal system as you fight to reveal the truth, and unravel a mystery that bridges the gap between the past and present for both Phoenix and the Fey family.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy will be priced at $29.99 on all platforms.
