The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a compilation of three Ace Attorney games releasing on Jan. 24. This game will be released on the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Windows and Steam. This is a compilation of games four through six in the Ace Attorney series, those being Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.
“It’s going to be great to be able to play these three without the need to dig up three different six plus year old games,” senior Austin Lamb said.
In Apollo Justice, the first game in the trilogy originally released on the DS, the player follows Apollo as he begins his attorney career with his first case defending Phoenix Wright who had been disbarred years earlier opening up more cases for Apollo. This game introduces Apollo as well as his bracelet which he can use to sense nervous habits and hone in on them which is used during trials in this game to help him figure out the truth.
Dual Destinies is the second game in the trilogy and will show Apollo, Phoenix and newcomer to the Wright Anything Agency Athena Cykes navigating their way through “the dark age of the law” because of a loss of faith in the court. This game is the first to use 3D models instead of 2D and its new thing is Athena’s Widget’s Mood Matrix which is used to sense the emotion behind people’s testimony which will be a big help.
Spirit of Justice is the third game in the trilogy and will show Phoenix going to Khura’in to see his friend but getting entangled in their flawed justice system and Apollo and Athena watching over the Wright Anything Agency. This game has all the past game mechanics as well as the Divination Seances which are used in Khura’in to show the victims last moments and what they heard and saw which is used to decide the accused fate before Phoenix arrives.
In this game there will be the DLC for Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice as well as the costumes from those games that were pre-order bonuses for those games. There will also be an Art Library which will house art from each of the games. There will also be an Orchestra
Hall where one can listen to music from the games. Lastly there will be an Animation Studio where one can use character models and items from the games to make whatever is wanted.
“Not to mention just how many extra features they’ve crammed into this game, it’s going to be well worth the price,” Lamb said.
