The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon conjures up the series’ past into the present. Featuring Father Kevin from Trails in the Sky and Rean Schwarzer from the Cold Steel series, this latest entry in the series appears to be a culmination of everything that came before. Now, and pardon my pun, a release date is on the horizon: January 15th, 2026.

The fate of Zemuria is in Van and crew’s hands in this brand-new trailer:

If you’re attending PAX West, a demo will be available at the NIS America booth between August 29th and September 1st. Otherwise, you can pre-order the game now including the limited edition, which includes the following:

  • Collector’s box
  • Art book
  • Digipak original soundtrack
  • Steelbook case
  • Acrylic clock
  • A copy of the game (note: Switch 2 version is a key card)

Publisher NIS America describes The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon:

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?

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!

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. Stay tuned to RPGFan as we get closer to the beginning of the end of Trails!
