The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II Opening Movie Released

NIS America released the opening movie to Nihon Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II ahead of its western release next week. The two-minute video, viewable below, features the original song “Crimson Sin”. The game will release in North America and Europe on February 14, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

Trails through Daybreak II takes place three months after the events of Trails through Daybreak. Van Arkride keeps the mantle of protagonist, working as a “Spriggan” — effectively a hybrid of private detective and bounty hunter — in the Calvard Republic. The game’s events see him investigating a series of gruesome murders connected to Van by the appearance of a red beast-like creature that looks eerily similar to the blue Grendel form that Van can take on. Trails through Daybreak II features the same combat system from Trails through Daybreak, which features a mix of real-time and turn-based combat, as well as its Law, Gray, and Chaos alignment system.
