==Characters==
+
===Main Characters===
+
*'''[[Phoenix Wright]] '''- The protagonist of ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'', ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All|Justice For All]]'' and ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations|Trials and Tribulations]]''. A previously disbarred defense attorney who has regained his badge. One of the playable characters.

*'''[[Apollo Justice]]''' - The protagonist of the fourth ''Ace Attorney'' game, ''[[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]'', is set to return as a playable character. At some point in the game he is injured, with both his arms and his right eye swathed in bandages. While wounded, he also sports a slightly tattered long blue coat that hangs from his shoulders over his usual apparel.
+
*'''Athena Cykes''' - Defense attorney and new partner character. She has a great drive to win, distinguishing her from [[Maya Fey]]. She can examine witnesses' emotions using a computer on her necklace, the "Mood Matrix".
+
*'''Jin Yuugami '''- The game's rival prosecutor. A pale man with black eyeshadow and a feather in his mouth, he was ordered to stand in court despite technically serving a murder sentence; made quite clear with the large pair of handcuffs connected by a chain on his wrists. Yuugami also wears a black and white long coat, and carries a hawk on his right shoulder.
+
*'''Gouzou Ban''' - A hot-blooded detective with the catchphrase "JUSTICE!", he has worked with Jin Yuugami many times and is paired up with him in court. The detective hopes to help the prosecutor redeem himself. Ban has such a strong sense of justice that he is compelled to intervene to help those in trouble, and he will even help defense attorneys if it will lead to a fair trial.
+
*The unnamed [[Judge|judge]] who has presided over most of the cases in ''Ace Attorney'' series.
+
===Returning characters===
+
*'''[[Miles Edgeworth]]''' - A renowned prosecutor prodigy and the childhood friend and longtime rival of Phoenix Wright. He is also the protagonist of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Gyakuten Kenji 2. By the time the game takes place, Edgeworth has become the Chief Prosecutor.
+
*'''[[Trucy Wright]]''' - Phoenix Wright's adopted daughter and Apollo Justice's former investigative partner. A young magician from a well-known family of magicians, she is still working at the Wright Anything Agency and continues to aid the lawyers in their investigations.
+
==Gameplay==
+
The classic courtroom gameplay of Phoenix Wright's previous adventures returns. Added to this formula is the "Mood Matrix" in which Wright can examine the emotions of a witness to find contradictions between the witness's emotional state and his or her testimony. In addition to this, the game world has transitioned into 3D with fully orchestral music, allowing for dynamic camera angles while retaining the 2D "touch" of the characters by taking measures to maintain the sense of speed sharpness from the 2D games. The game will also feature animated scenes by Bones, similarly to ''[[Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney]]'' which also has animated cutscenes from the anime studio. Another new feature is a backlog function, which allows players to review previous dialogue.

==Downloadable content==
