Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy Heads West on April 9th

Capcom promised an announcement today on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, and we got one, as we now know when the game is coming to the west. The official release date will be April 9th for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One for the price of $30. The company also released full descriptions of all three games in the trilogy and screenshots, which we have for you below. These look crisp and amazing compared to their original 2DS/3DS versions, and it'll be interesting to see how the interactions go without the dual screen option. We hope to review the game for you down the road, but for now, enjoy what we have here.

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.
