Synthesized from 10 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 15

Ace Attorney's current activity is mostly back catalog and merchandise. Capcom put five Ace Attorney titles plus the Phoenix Wright 123 selection into its CAPCOM AUTUMN SALE on the App Store and Google Play on October 9, with discounts running through October 21, 2026. On Steam, a sale running through September 22, 2026 discounted six items, from the Phoenix Wright Trilogy at 987 yen to the Ace Attorney Series Complete Pack at 7,178 yen, described as 1,794 yen below buying the four individual titles separately.

The series turned 25 on October 12, 2026. Capcom paired the anniversary with a collaboration with bag brand T·S·O·G: two water-resistant genuine leather city totes, a navy Naruhodo model and a black Mitsurugi model, sold as a set with a matching leather pass case, priced at 38,500 yen, with pre-orders opened September 24 and shipping from February 2027. A separate collaboration with illustrator ORIHARA went on sale at eeo Store Ikebukuro Main Store and the eeo Store online on October 3, running through October 16, 2026, with can badges, acrylic cards, keychains, stands, mirrors, name plate badges, and folding combs in eight types each, plus an acrylic art board and a character clear case.

The most concrete development beyond goods is a licensed VR project. Amata Games is developing an officially licensed VR version of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, the fifth mainline game originally released for Nintendo 3DS in 2013, for Meta Quest headsets and Meta VR Glasses in 2027, with English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese support. Amata announced the license on September 24, 2026, and a teaser site and trailer are live. The price is undecided. The adaptation keeps the contradiction-hunting courtroom battles and the Mood Matrix and Thought Route systems, with investigation sections set inside recreatable crime scenes and control options covering hand tracking and standard controllers.

Physical goods in the US come through Fangamer, which released an acrylic diorama of courtrooms from the first three games, a Gavinners tour T-shirt with a bonus Lamiroir sticker, and a pin badge set of Phoenix Wright and Kristoph Gavin from Ace Attorney 4. Bandai's Pinch and Connect Mascot gashapon set, with Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, Maya Fey, Mia Fey, and Tonosaman in ball chain and crab claw versions, launched on Gashapon Online on July 31, 2026.
