Falcom Plans Trails beyond the Horizon Sequel for Japan by September 2027

Nihon Falcom revealed its next Trails sequel on Wednesday in its financial results report, covering the fiscal year ended September 30. The Japanese release is due by September 2027.

The sequel follows The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon (The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki -Farewell, O Zemuria-). Falcom plans to release only that game during the year, with no other titles scheduled, Gematsu reported.

That excludes the next entry in the Trails in the Sky (Sora no Kiseki) remake series.

Trails beyond the Horizon launched on January 15 for:

• Nintendo Switch 2
• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation 5
• PlayStation 4
• PC via Steam

NIS America originally planned a fall 2025 release. It announced the delay alongside the Switch 2 version.

The game first launched in Japan in September 2024 for:

• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation 5
• PlayStation 4

An Asian PC release via Steam followed in January 2025.

The story brings back Van Arkride and Arkride Solutions as the future of the entire Zemurian continent hangs in the balance. Zemuria’s people eagerly await humanity’s first journey into space.

Marduk’s unexpected invitation to a high-tech training exercise draws three characters toward Zemuria’s deepest secrets:

• Van Arkride
• Ashen Chevalier Rean Schwarzer
• Father Kevin Graham

Their paths may separate, but each faces the question of what lies beyond the horizon.

The game marks the Trails series’ 20th anniversary. Zemuria, introduced in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky in 2004, undergoes a drastic change.

The Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (Sora no Kiseki the 1st) remake launched simultaneously worldwide in September 2025 for:

• Nintendo Switch
• Nintendo Switch 2
• PlayStation 5
• PC via Steam

The Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter (Sora no Kiseki the 2nd) remake launched on September 17 for:
