The events in the timeline can be divided up into three categories:
It is important to note that the years used in this timeline are mostly based on the full date given on a [[DL-6 Incident]] case summary file, with all other events being portrayed as relative to other dates as opposed to having a definite point of occurrence. The murder of [[Gregory Edgeworth]] is recorded as having occurred on December 28, 2001. By the [[statute of limitations]] an unsolved case is closed permanently 15 years after its opening, putting the [[Turnabout Goodbyes|final resolution of the incident]] at December 28, 2016. Furthermore, [[:File:Trucy in Gramarye-Land.png|a poster seen for Trucy In Gramarye-Land]] in ''[[The Magical Turnabout]]'' has its days of the week match up with 2028, which is consistent when adding up the years between it and the final resolution of DL-6. From this, it is possible to construct a timeline of the ''Ace Attorney'' universe.

==="Modern" timeline===
For ''[[Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken]]'', the basis for its timeline is the date of birth of the character [[Sōseki Natsume]], who is based on the real life author of the same name. Natsume was born in 1867, and is 33 when he is introduced, which would place ''[[The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro]]'' in 1900.

This method of generating timeline dates is generally corroborated by ''[[Gyakuten Taizen 2001-2016]]''<sup>[needs further investigation]</sup> as well as [[:File:Trucy in Gramarye-Land.png|a poster seen for Trucy In Gramarye-Land]] in ''[[The Magical Turnabout]]'', whose days of the week match up with the year 2028, which is consistent when adding up the years between it and the final resolution of DL-6.

{{cleanup|Subject to change, maybe?}}
The developers of the ''Ace Attorney'' games, in particular the people in charge of putting down the ages of characters in the [[court record]], have not paid much attention to any absolute timeline. This is evident in the fact that characters' ages do not change within a game (except during "flashback" cases), even when a new year passes by. This has led to some inconsistencies in character birthdates. The timeline for this page treats the "present" timeline of an individual game as a "year" (much like school terms that straddle the new year), which resolves some of these issues. More information on this can be found [[Ace Attorney Wiki:Timeline|here]].
 
 
The years used for this category are based on the date of birth of the character [[Sōseki Natsume]], who is based on [[wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|the real life author of the same name]]. Natsume was born in 1867, and is 33 when he is introduced, which would place ''[[The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro]]'' in 1900.
   
  +
In truth, any attempt to base the years on real-life events will result in inconsistencies, as various events referenced in the games take place at different relative times compared to their real-life occurrences. For example, Natsume was only present in the UK from 1901 to January 1903, while in ''[[The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro]]'' he returns to the UK in February. Plus, he would be 36 in 1903. There are several references to a World’s Fair, but no World’s Fair occurred in Great Britain at this time. Interestingly enough, even Susato is aware of the French “exposition universelle”, a term used for French World’s Fairs/World Expos before 1900, and Hart Vortex’s dialogue seems to imply that a World’s Fair had never occurred in Great Britain before, further complicating things.
Since the [[organizer]] profiles in ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth]]'' and ''[[Gyakuten Kenji 2]]'' fit with corresponding court record profiles in ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations]]'', the 2018-2019 "year" used in ''Trials and Tribulations'' is used for the purpose of birth years in these games.
 
   
 
A free DLC pack for ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' notes that the game was set in 1897 in early drafts, but the year is never mentioned in the main game.
The timeline itself follows. Please note that some of these dates are extrapolations (e.g., "two weeks after [[Phoenix Wright]]'s disbarment" becomes "May 3") and may not be exactly correct. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that the "true" dates will ever be pinned down.

===''Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney''===
Additionally, while it is noted above that the basis for placing ''[[The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro]]'' in 1900 is based on the age of [[Sōseki Natsume]], [[wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|the real Sōseki Natsume]] was only present in the UK from 1901 to 1903. This is presumed to simply be artistic license. As he returned to Japan in January 1903, yet returns in the game immediately after ''[[The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro]]'' (February), plus the fact that he would be 36 in 1903, the real-life dates are rendered irreconcilable with the dates in-game.

  +
The years used for this category are based on two assumptions:
  +
* The main game is canon to the rest of the series, but the Special Episodes are not.
  +
* The visit to London occurs after [[Maggey Byrde]] is wrongfully convicted of murder, and before her case is appealed a month later in ''[[Recipe for Turnabout]]''.
   
  +
It is evident that the game was not meant to have a firm place at least in the aforementioned "modern" timeline. This can be seen from the lack of dates, the many trilogy references even up to ''[[Bridge to the Turnabout]]'', and the crossover with the ''Professor Layton'' continuity, which is implied to take place earlier in the 20th century.
A free DLC pack for ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' notes that the game was set in 1897 in early drafts, but the year is never mentioned in the main game. Thus, it is unknown if this is still the intended date.
 
   
 
It should be noted that there is conflicting information about when [[Espella Cantabella]] ran away from home. Espella claims in [[The Great Witch|Chapter 3]] that it was five years prior to the events of the game, but [[Storyteller|her father]] says in the [[The First Story|Epilogue]] that it was four years.
The events of ''[[Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' are not given any date stamps within the game, so its placement on the timeline is debatable. The character designs and Maya's use of the word "Zvarri" indicate that it is definitely sometime between October 2018 and April 2019. Some speculate that the reference to [[Hazakura Temple]] indicates after February 2019, but there is nothing in this reference to indicate that Phoenix had prior knowledge of the temple's existence. The lack of snow in both [[London]] and [[Labyrinthia]] also goes against the February date stamp. A plot hole in ''[[Recipe for Turnabout]]'' may provide a more accurate placement for the game's events. Gumshoe does not confront Phoenix about the [[Trés Bien]] incident until a month after it occurs, nor does Phoenix have any knowledge of it in that time, despite its publicity. It's possible that he was in [[London]] during that time, hence his obliviousness, which is this article's basis for the dates given regarding ''Layton vs Wright''. It should be noted, however, that this is still speculation. As far as the Bonus Episodes are concerned, they are intended to give more of a "Behind the Scenes" perspective on the game and are not considered canon.
 
   
 
==Complications==
It should noted, with regards to ''Layton vs Wright'', that there is conflicting information about when [[Espella Cantabella]] ran away from home. Espella herself claims in [[The Great Witch|Chapter 3]] that it was five years prior to the events of the game, but [[Storyteller|her father]] says in the [[The First Story|Epilogue]] that it was four years. It's possible that it was four full years ago, with the end of fifth approaching soon, and Espella was approximating. Another possibility is that it was five years, but Cantabella failed to notice her absence until after the first year, due to his busy work schedule. With no evidence to confirm either way, however, this article shall put the date as being "four or five years earlier".

Note: The editor who added this tag believes this article or section should be cleaned up for the following reason: Needs policy review. Unclear how Gyakuten Taizen 2001-2016 factors into all this, as depending on the level of detail, it should probably just replace the methods we've been using.

The following article is a timeline of the Ace Attorney universe.

Basic reckoning

The events in the timeline can be divided up into three categories:

"Modern" timeline

The years used for this category are based on the full date given on a DL-6 Incident case summary file, with all other events being portrayed as relative to other dates as opposed to having a definite point of occurrence. The murder of Gregory Edgeworth is recorded as having occurred on December 28, 2001. By the statute of limitations, an unsolved case is closed permanently 15 years after its opening, putting the final resolution of the incident at December 28, 2016. This method of generating timeline dates is generally corroborated by Gyakuten Taizen 2001-2016[needs further investigation] as well as a poster seen for Trucy In Gramarye-Land in The Magical Turnabout, whose days of the week match up with the year 2028, which is consistent when adding up the years between it and the final resolution of DL-6.

Meiji/Victorian timeline

The years used for this category are based on the date of birth of the character Sōseki Natsume, who is based on the real life author of the same name. Natsume was born in 1867, and is 33 when he is introduced, which would place The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro in 1900.

In truth, any attempt to base the years on real-life events will result in inconsistencies, as various events referenced in the games take place at different relative times compared to their real-life occurrences. For example, Natsume was only present in the UK from 1901 to January 1903, while in The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro he returns to the UK in February. Plus, he would be 36 in 1903. There are several references to a World’s Fair, but no World’s Fair occurred in Great Britain at this time. Interestingly enough, even Susato is aware of the French “exposition universelle”, a term used for French World’s Fairs/World Expos before 1900, and Hart Vortex’s dialogue seems to imply that a World’s Fair had never occurred in Great Britain before, further complicating things.

A free DLC pack for Dai Gyakuten Saiban notes that the game was set in 1897 in early drafts, but the year is never mentioned in the main game.

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Note: The editor who added this tag believes this article or section should be cleaned up for the following reason: Subject to change, maybe?

The years used for this category are based on two assumptions:

  • The main game is canon to the rest of the series, but the Special Episodes are not.
  • The visit to London occurs after Maggey Byrde is wrongfully convicted of murder, and before her case is appealed a month later in Recipe for Turnabout.

It is evident that the game was not meant to have a firm place at least in the aforementioned "modern" timeline. This can be seen from the lack of dates, the many trilogy references even up to Bridge to the Turnabout, and the crossover with the Professor Layton continuity, which is implied to take place earlier in the 20th century.

It should be noted that there is conflicting information about when Espella Cantabella ran away from home. Espella claims in Chapter 3 that it was five years prior to the events of the game, but her father says in the Epilogue that it was four years.

Complications

The developers of the Ace Attorney games, in particular the people in charge of putting down the ages of characters in the court record, have not paid much attention to any absolute timeline. This is evident in the fact that characters' ages do not change within a game (except during "flashback" cases), even when a new year passes by. This has led to some inconsistencies in character birthdates. The timeline for this page treats the "present" timeline of an individual game as a "year" (much like school terms that straddle the new year), which resolves some of these issues. More information on this can be found here.

Since the organizer profiles in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Gyakuten Kenji 2 fit with corresponding court record profiles in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, the 2018-2019 "year" used in Trials and Tribulations is used for the purpose of birth years in these games.

The timeline itself follows. Please note that some of these dates are extrapolations (e.g., "two weeks after Phoenix Wright's disbarment" becomes "May 3") and may not be exactly correct. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that the "true" dates will ever be pinned down.
