It has been two years since Persona 5's True Ending. Akira Kurusu, formerly Joker, has been trying his best to live a normal life... without much success. When bizarre murders, betrayals, and uprisings begin to happen around the world, Akira and his friends realize something must be done.
Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey, two tourists traveling to Japan, realize their vacation isn't going to be as relaxing as they thought. Soon they too are wrapped into this dark mystery and dangerous conspiracy--along with a certain prosecutor's team, who all wish to help.

The Phantom Thieves are back at last, and they need to pull off a high stakes heist in the real world for the greater good. Joker knows that he is the only one for the job, and he knows there is no room for mistakes. This flash forward glimpse of what's to come will set the stage for a grand show.
However, perhaps even higher stakes than the heist, we have a high stakes court trial to worry about. Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey's vacation to Japan is interrupted by a murder. The accused, Yuuki Mishima, was on the scene trying to save the victim, so they know he couldn't be the true killer. Never the type to leave a person in need, Phoenix takes the case to defend Mishima and find the true culprit.
Lastly, in a special bonus, we may even see a few more familiar faces of a certain prosecutor and his team.
Logic and Trickster gets off to an explosive start you won't want to miss!

Both the Phantom Thieves as well as Phoenix have talked to former criminal Masayoshi Shido about the potential threat of some unknown villain using Cognitive Psience to wreak havoc, and the direction he pointed them was to the Sniffsonian Museum. Said museum has been holding on to a very peculiar object, a "pearl" formerly owned by Futaba's late mother, Wakaba. It's unknown what kind of an item it truly is, but it is their only lead, and the circumstances are dire enough that the two parties find the need to work together for the first time.

At long last: the Phantom Thieves are back. Their objective is to enter the Metaverse to find out more about the mysterious Contracts their enemy, the Director, seems to be able to manipulate in some way. This time, new members are coming along for the ride. Phoenix, Maya, and the Interpol Team are all suited up to be honorary thieves, complete with their new codenames! They will stay within the Mona Bus to support the team remotely.
A palace that isn't truly a palace... a "Facade." This Facade has been created by the influence of the Director on Kaz Mizusawa through some sort of means related to Cognitive Psience, and entering Mizusawa's Facade is the best way to investigate this matter. Joker leads his team through a pulse-pounding infiltration through Mizusawa's cognition of a military base, sneaking with style like secret agents. What exactly is a contract, and how will they look for it? These questions will have to be put on hold, as Joker and his friends are brutally reminded just how dangerous the Metaverse can be.

Our story picks right back up with Phoenix and Maya, who are deep behind enemy lines, but safe for the moment thanks to an unexpected new ally. With no idea how much time it may take for the rest of the Phantom Thieves to meet back up with them, the unlikely trio find out that they are even shorter on time than they realize.
The truth behind the Director's ambitions with this Facade come to light as our heroes discover that the stakes are higher than ever: if they don't stop Mizusawa's shadow, then a horrifying weapon of war could very well be taken out of the cognitive world of the Metaverse to be used in the real world.

The Phantom Thieves now know their goal: within the Facade in Kaz Mizusawa's mind, there is something that Mizusawa considers a "contract." All the heroes need to do is find it--and break it. This will break Mizusawa's silence in the real world as well, and he will no longer be prevented from being interrogated to share what he knows about the "Director" who put him under this contract to begin with.
That contract? Almost certainly the giant, nuclear-armed war machine that Mizusawa's shadow is building.
With a stronger understanding and an even stronger purpose, and the added bonus of some new faces awakening to their true selves... the tables have certainly turned. Though Phoenix and Maya were separated, they've made contact with Joker and the others, and soon the groups will rejoin one another within a secret room within the research lab where they hope to find the blueprints to this machine.
It's time for the Phantom Thieves to tear this Facade apart and put a stop to the Director's plans.

There's no shortage of things to work on in the meantime. Akira and Makoto have a few years to catch up on with their love life together. Phoenix and Maya have invitations and keys to a very special room. And Zenkichi simply needs to be caught up to speed, preferably with an explanation as to why the hell everyone forgot to give him a call.
As everyone gets back into the groove, the gears will soon resume turning on the rest of the mysteries they are faced with. For now, a break.

It's time for a refresher on what's going on: the investigation, the group's goals, the potential leads, and the possible identity of the powerful and dangerous Director who they will be facing.
And whoever the anonymous "Anansi" Phan-Site poster is, they seem to be making moves of their own to try and help. Just who could they possibly be? For now, the Phantom Thieves will just have to trust that Anansi is on the same side.
With two distinct goals in both Japan and America, only one last thing needs to happen before the investigation can truly kick back off: the Phantom Thieves are going to have to split up into two parties to divide and conquer.
But as the time draws near for the groups to separate, Igor finds it necessary to pull aside Akira, Phoenix, and Maya to the Backstage. There's plenty of news and information. But will all of it be pleasant? They'll just have to wait and see.

This is the America side of Act 14, following Phoenix Wright's perspective as half of the new Phantom Thieves travel to Los Angeles, America to follow a few leads. However, they will have to get to America, first! Act 14L takes us across the Pacific ocean on an airline flight from Tokyo to LA.
Phoenix is fortunate enough to meet a political analyst in the seat next to him on the flight, and he is able to gain an insider perspective into both the rebellion in Koridai that they are investigating, as well as the upcoming UN Embassy assembly that they plan on keeping their eyes on. Evidently, a lot of things don't make sense about either situation.
Though this flight starts out quite comfortable, our heroes will quickly find out that not all is as it seems aboard the plane. An uneasy feeling sets in for Morgana and Sophia, possibly warning them of a dangerous presence on the plane. Could this involve the Metaverse...?

This is the America side of Act 15, following Phoenix Wright's perspective. Upon landing in America and resolving the remaining matters from their flight, the Phantom Thieves are taken right to their intended destination, the Cosmos Space Center.
It is here that prominent scientists Metis Cykes and Aura Blackquill will assist Kuon Ichinose in analyzing and studying the Orb of Heart, hopefully learning more about it and what makes it work. It is by far the most important item in their possession, and perhaps learning about their own Orb may help them to better understand the sister relic: the Orb of Mind, in the possession of their enemy, the Director.
However, things are never quite that simple. There are suspicions at the Space Center of a possible spy lurking among the staff, who could be working behind the scenes to sabotage a future rocket launch. The Phantom Thieves never back down from an opportunity to help innocent people, so their next mission becomes clear: do what they can to find and stop this mysterious saboteur!

This is the Japan side of Act 15, following Akira Kurusu's perspective. Where we last left off, the gang was given a tip that pointed them in the direction of the nearby city of Inaba. Supposedly, the museum curator Hebi Hibiki was spotted in the area. As he is currently in the process of being kidnapped by the yakuza, this lead could prove invaluable in rescuing him.
However, they'll need all the help they can get, and that help is going to take the form of detective Ryotaro Dojima with the Inaba PD. Not only does he have a potential lead that could help them to save Hibiki, but he could stand to close the book on an unsolved murder case that has been bothering him for five years by now. With a lot on the line, our heroes will team up with this new ally to try and save Hibiki before it's too late.
