Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War Debuts New Trailer, 2023 Launch Window

Falcom and Tatsunoko Production have released the first trailer for the upcoming anime series The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War, an upcoming anime set in the same world as the Trails games. It will air in Japan sometime in early 2023.

Check out the trailer below:

Overview

Lavi is a girl born and raised in North Ambria State, the poorest region in the northwestern part of Zemuria.

To protect her hometown, and to prove she is different from her grandfather Vlad—who was once hailed as a hero, but betrayed North Ambria—she volunteers to serve in the renowned Northern Jaegers, the largest jaeger corps in the continent.

Devoted to her duties to the point that she repeatedly breaches discipline, Lavi is grouped into a platoon with Marty, Iseria, and Talion and ordered to undertake a reckless undercover mission into the Erebonian Empire.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War is an upcoming anime series based on Nihon Falcom’s Trails of Cold Steel series. The anime was announced first in March 2021 with a planned 2022 release, but now it’s been postponed to early 2023. At present, there are a total of four games in the series. If you haven’t played any and you feel keen to get into them, our Trails primer might help you decide.

Recently, we’ve been getting more video game anime adaptations. Earlier this month, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners launched, receiving high scores from critics. Meanwhile, fans of NieR: Automata were teased with a preview of the animated series, also set to arrive in 2023.
