Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy[lower-alpha 2] is a 2024 video game compilation developed and published by Capcom. It is a sequel to Software:Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and consists of remasters of the fourth through sixth main installments in the Ace Attorney series: Software:Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (2007), Software:Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (2013), and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice (2016). The compilation was released on January 25, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.

Development and release

Development for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy began in 2021. The development team aimed to create a gameplay experience for both newcomers and longtime fans.[1] All three included games were ported to run on RE Engine.[2]

On June 12, 2023, Capcom announced the compilation for a planned 2024 release.[3] The compilation features an updated UI, high-resolution artwork, and localization in seven languages.[3][4] As in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, a "Story Mode" setting automatically solves puzzles and advances through the plot without requiring player input.[5] The compilation includes all internationally-released downloadable content for Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.[6] Bonus features include galleries for viewing artwork and listening to music, and an "animation studio", which allows players to combine different character animations and backgrounds from each game.[6] The game also has several "accolades", that are obtained through actions such as investigating items in certain cases, clearing episodes, or choosing certain options.
