Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a 2024 compilation of video games from Capcom, which both developed and published it.

It launched on January 25, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.
Work on the trilogy began in 2021, with the team aiming to appeal to both new players and long-time fans. All three games were ported to run on Capcom's RE Engine.

By porting the games to the RE Engine, Capcom provided updated visuals and performance while retaining the core gameplay.
