Nihon Falcom released its September 2025 financials report and confirmed some of the studio’s upcoming projects, including development of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd) as a multi-platform worldwide release by September 2026. Falcom is working on a variety of ports and new titles as well, including a PlayStation 5 version of Ys X: Proud Nordics.
As mentioned in the report (via @Hansuke21), the Trails series has surpassed 9 million units sold worldwide, and Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will be the latest installment in the series. There were no details shared on the next Trails title set after the events of The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon, which is set to launch on January 15, 2026 in the west.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is available now for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The game’s post-credits scene features a Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter teaser, which previews pivotal scenes of the remake. Since the game’s launch this past September, various updates have been released to add features like a first-person mode, Image Quality / Performance Settings, and other quality of life changes.
Final Weapon reviewed Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and gave it a 4.5/5, noting that the game is “the perfect introduction to Trails, with an outstanding cast, engaging gameplay, and a world impossible not to get invested in. The slow-burning narrative, while very enjoyable, can lead to monotonous sections of the game, but this is just a minor gripe considering the massive adventure at hand. New and old fans alike will fall in love with what is assuredly one of the best RPGs of the year.”
