Enter a World of Mystery with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy

Prepare to shout "Objection!" as the legal drama reaches new heights in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy. This comprehensive collection brings together three pivotal chapters in the Ace Attorney saga, allowing players to follow the journey of rookie attorney Apollo Justice alongside his legendary mentor, Phoenix Wright. Spanning 16 episodes in total—including two previously DLC-only Special Episodes—this trilogy offers a deep dive into a world where the law is anything but straightforward and every witness has a secret to hide.

A Gripping Tale of Law, Lies, and Legends

Set years after the events of the original trilogy, this collection picks up the mantle of the series' complex narrative. The story begins seven years after the conclusion of Trials and Tribulations, featuring a disbarred Phoenix Wright recruiting the promising Apollo Justice. As you progress through the games, the scope expands from local courtroom battles to the far-off nation of Khura’in, the ancestral home of the spirit-channeling Fey clan.

While the series maintains its signature wit and "insane" storytelling, this trilogy explores a range of tones. Players will encounter everything from lighthearted levity to darker, more mysterious, and even stoic atmospheres. While the collection serves as a direct sequel to the original trilogy, the individual cases are designed so that new players can jump in and enjoy the high-stakes drama immediately.

Gameplay Mechanics: Investigation and Cross-Examination

As an adventure-driven visual novel, the gameplay is split between two core phases: investigation and courtroom trials. During investigations, you will wander through various environments, interviewing characters and examining crime scenes to gather vital evidence. Once the trial begins, the pressure shifts to the courtroom, where you must use your gathered evidence to expose contradictions in witness testimony.

Each game in this collection introduces unique psychological and supernatural mechanics to help uncover the truth:

  • Perceiving Nervous Ticks: In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, use Apollo's unique ability to detect physical tells in witnesses to catch them in a lie.
  • The Mood Matrix: In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, utilize Athena Cykes’ specialized skills to analyze the emotions of witnesses and find inconsistencies between their words and feelings.
  • Spirit Channeling: In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice, experience séances that allow you to witness the final moments of a victim to uncover hidden details.

Premium Features for Every Fan

Capcom has gone above and beyond to polish this collection for modern platforms, ensuring that long-time fans and newcomers alike have a premium experience.
