The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Prologue Demo Released, Switch 2 Version Announced

Nihon Falcom and GungHo Online Entertainment have released a free prologue demo for The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The demo — available now on PC and PlayStation 5, with a Nintendo Switch version to be released soon — allows players to go through the game’s prologue chapter and transfer save progress to its full version, which releases worldwide on September 19, 2025.

In addition, the companies also announced a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. The Nintendo Switch 2 version includes a higher resolution and frame rate compared to the Nintendo Switch version as well as reduced load times, and will be available as a $1 upgrade for Nintendo Switch version owners.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a full 3D remake of the first game in the series that takes place on the continent of Zemuria. It follows adopted siblings Estelle and Joshua as they set out to become Bracers, a group that acts to protect the safety of the world’s citizens. Acting as junior Bracers, they look to become full-fledged Bracers by taking on jobs across the Kingdom of Liberl.
