The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon Demos Available

Ahead of the game’s release next month, NIS America released demos for Nihon Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon. A Story Demo is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, while a Battle Demo is available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The Story Demo lets players go through the game’s prologue and transfer their save data to the full game, while the Battle Demo lets players access a specific section from later on the game and try out new combat mechanics, such as the Field Battle mode’s ZOC and Blitz Attacks.

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.
