The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st Announced for 2025

We all suspected it was coming, and now we know it’s real. Falcom is working on The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, a remake of the first Trails in the Sky. The game’s slated to come out on Nintendo Switch sometime in 2025.

It was blink-and-you’ll-miss-it in the English Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, but it had its own segment in the Japanese version. Check that out below.

It’s worth noting that Trails in the Sky got a Japan-exclusive PlayStation Vita port subtitled FC Evolution. That one featured all kinds of enhancements, including voice acting. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, on the other hand, is a full-on remake that transforms the game into a (luscious) 3D experience. Let’s hope the localizers preserve the script, though. I’d hate to lose “U-L-T-R-A-V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E.”

Editor’s Note: As an aside, while it’s logical to assume NIS America is handling publishing duties in the West, neither NISA or XSEED Games were shown in the Direct, only Nihon Falcom. So we’ll be curious to see how that plays out.
