Ace Attorney marks 25th anniversary, trilogy surpasses 5M sales

gamingSep 20, 2026332,576

Ace Attorney marked its 25th anniversary when Capcom and series artists Kazuya Nuri and Takuro Fuse unveiled a new anniversary illustration and the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy was announced to have sold over 5 million copies. Conversation clustered around Phoenix Wright, Athena and characters from The Great Ace Attorney era, with many pointing out that Athena looks noticeably different in the official poster and calling the piece an 'everyone draw a character' insertion. Several posts pushed for more Great Ace Attorney content or an anime starring Herlock Sholmes and Kazuma, while others criticized the anniversary showing as mainly merchandise and sales figures rather than a new numbered game announcement.

You know when you receive toiletries for your birthday and you have to try your best not to look ungrateful? Like, "I'm glad you didn't forget entirely, but I did mention to you what I was hoping for and this isn't that."

@coneshotline.bsky.social

the problem with the ace attorney series is all due to capcom’s cowardice. there are simply too many main characters who’ve either completed their arc and return just to stand around OR they can’t figure out how to close plot threads and so leave them hanging

Okay from what I understood the Ace Attorney news at tgs was basically like a reminder that the games are on sale and theres some grey bags they showed off? They sure were bags. Happy 25th🎉⚖️

The Ace Attorney 25th anniversary illustration is sending me if just because of how comically obvious it is that they couldn't get Takuro Fuse back to draw Athena. She looks like one of those "everyone draw a character" memes inserted into an official poster.

unless theyve been working on the next ace attorney for Literally ten years what is capcom doing. theres very clearly a market for a new ace attorney game but aside from remasters/ports all they've done is like. Merch. And jingling phoenix x edgeworth in front of fans' faces like keys
