Nihon Falcom has released its consolidated financial results for the first half of fiscal year ending in September 2026, revealing that the company experienced a massive increase in operating profit upwards of 1227% thanks to the international success of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and other game releases. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter became Falcom’s most successful game ever on Steam last September, but the financial results paint a grander picture of just how successful the game was.
According to Falcom, the company saw year-on-year growth across all metrics, with revenue rising by 153.9%. Sales were up 194.8% year-over-year, which were also attributed to Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. Falcom has revised its earnings forecast for the current fiscal year, which account for a 38.4% increase in revenue and 69.2% increase in operating profit.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will launch on September 17 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 versions will be available digitally and physically in the west, and in Japan, pre-orders include a digital copy for an HD remaster of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC (not available for Steam).
The Standard Edition will be available for $59.99 ($64.99 for Nintendo Switch 2 Edition). Players can transfer their save data from Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter to receive the “Classic Style SC” outfits for Estelle and Joshua Bright, which are based on the attire they wore in the original The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC. Pre-orders for the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Golden Wings Edition are available now for $274.99 ($279.99 for Nintendo Switch 2 Edition) at Panax Store, while supplies last.
