Pre-orders opened September 24 at 38,500 yen, with shipping from February 2027.

In the US, Fangamer released three items: an acrylic diorama of courtrooms from the first three games with arrangeable stands, a Gavinners tour T-shirt featuring Klavier Gavin with a bonus Lamiroir sticker, and a pin badge set of Phoenix Wright and Kristoph Gavin from Ace Attorney 4.

Amata will release Ace Attorney 5 VR for Meta Quest in 2027 under license from Capcom, the company announced on September 24, 2026. A teaser site and announcement trailer are live, and the price is undecided. The game is a VR adaptation of the fifth Ace Attorney entry, which follows Phoenix Wright returning to defense work after eight years alongside Apollo Justice and rookie attorney Athena Cykes during a period the script calls the Dark Age of the Law. Investigation sections place players inside recreated crime scenes that can be examined from multiple angles for evidence and testimony, while courtroom sections keep the contradiction-hunting battles, driven by gesture controls. The Mood Matrix and Thought Route reasoning systems from the original are playable in VR. Control options cover hand tracking with pinching and tapping, plus standard controllers.
