NIS America announced that Nihon Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon will release on January 15, 2026. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a Limited Edition available to pre-order from NIS America’s online stores in North America and Europe. A new trailer can be viewed below.

The series’ twentieth anniversary title, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon sees Van Arkride, protagonist of Trails through Daybreak and Trails through Daybreak II, return as one of three main protagonists alongside Trails from Cold Steel’s protagonist Rean Schwarzer and Trails in the Sky the 3rd’s Kevin Graham. Its events revolve around the Republic of Calvard’s launch of an Orbal rocket to explore space, while the protagonists are brought together through an invitation from Marduk to cooperate in a high-tech training exercise. The game features an evolution of the combat from the Trails through Daybreak games, including new Shard Command, Awakening, and time-freezing Z.O.C. mechanics. It also includes the Grim Garten, a dungeon that players can take on with their own “dream” party.
