The Ace Attorney HD Trilogy - a spruced up iOS and Android remake of the original Phoenix Wright series - has been delayed until July, Capcom has announced.

Hold it!

The mobile collection was originally set for release last autumn before being pushed back to "early 2013," and now it's being delayed yet again. "For reasons unknown to me, the release has slid another several months to July," noted Capcom USA's senior vice-president Christian Svensson on the Capcom Unity forums. "Sorry guys."

"I'd hate to say it, this is the mobile team in Japan playing with dates for what they deem will work best in their market," he added in another thread. "Sadly, this is not an area we have had any degree of control."

On the plus side, Svensson teased impending news about Ace Attorney 5's western release. "AA5 is coming along great. I saw a build last month when I was in Osaka. We'll have some news for Western fans in the not so distant future (we know you want to know and we know you know the Japan dates). Hang in there..."
