In addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 (Game-Key card, btw) version, publisher NISA and developer Nihon Falcom have announced that the western release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon will be moved to January 2026. Initially, the game was scheduled to launch this fall only for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. See all the details below, including the Limited Edition exclusive to the NIS store.

“With the power of the Nintendo Switch 2, we expect players to have an even more enjoyable experience. In fact, this will mark the debut of the Trails series on the Nintendo Switch 2, and I personally have high expectations for it. Please continue to look forward to the release!”

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon Overview

Van Arkride and the members of Arkride Solutions are back, and this time the future of the entire Zemurian continent is at stake! The people of Zemuria await the launch of humanity’s first foray into space with bated breath. A sudden invitation from Marduk to cooperate in a high-tech training exercise sets Van, Ashen Chevalier Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham on a collision course with the secrets at the very core of Zemuria.

Their paths may diverge, but the ultimate question remains the same: Just what lies beyond the edge of the horizon?

Key Features

  • All Trails Lead Here – Paths from across Zemuria intertwine with higher stakes than ever before as the Trails series enters its final chapter!
  • Gameplay, Evolved – New gameplay mechanics such as Shard Commands, Awakening, and the time-freezing Z.O.C. give you an unprecedented amount of options in both Field and Command Battles!
  • Dream Teams – Gather allies from all over Calvard and beyond and put a stop to Ouroboros’ machinations in the Grim Garten, a dungeon that you can take on with your own custom party!

Preorder Details

Collectors can now preorder the limited edition from the NIS Store. However, it’s worth noting that the Switch 2 version is $109.99 USD, compared to the $99.99 PS5/PS4/Switch versions.
