Capcom announced Apollo Justice Ace Attorney trilogy is in the works

The Apollo Justice trilogy wasn’t as well received as the original Ace Attorney games, but now the detective games have a second chance at life with new audiences. Over a decade after the first Ace Attorney trilogy launched, Capcom is making an Apollo Justice Ace Attorney trilogy for modern platforms. 

The trilogy will launch sometime in early 2024 on Switch, PS5 and PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

The three Apollo Justice games take place years after the original Phoenix Wright games and follow Phoenix’s new apprentice, Apollo, and Phoenix’s adopted daughter, Trucy. While the basic premise remains roughly the same – collect evidence in adventure-game style sequences and present evidence in court – the mood in Apollo Justice is significantly different.

After the events of the first three games, the public lost faith in the justice system. Lawyers and judges have adopted an unethical approach to courtroom proceedings and do whatever it takes to get what they want.

Lucky for you and Apollo, you have a few tricks up your sleeves as well. In true Ace Attorney fashion, Apollo Justice blends heavy subject matter with a clever, quirky English script and a healthy dose of the ridiculous. Apollo’s bracelet helps him uncover the truth, while defense attorney Athena Cykes has a mood matrix that helps her catch out lying witnesses.
