Nihon Falcom has announced the worldwide launch of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a full remake of the classic RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. The game will release for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in fall 2025.
Published in the West by GungHo Online Entertainment, this remake features both English and Japanese voiceovers, with subtitles available in English, French, German, and Japanese. The project celebrates the Trails series’ 20th anniversary, bringing the original story into a fully reimagined 3D world.
A Remade Classic with Modern Enhancements
The Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake stays true to the heart of the original while updating its story and presentation for modern audiences. Set in the Liberl Kingdom, the narrative follows Estelle Bright and her adopted brother Joshua as they set out on a journey to find their missing father. Along the way, they train to become Bracers, helping civilians and maintaining peace across the kingdom.
This remake not only brings the story to a wider audience but also features updated combat mechanics. The dual battle system combines “Field Action,” which lets you gain an edge before combat, with the classic “Command Battle” system. These refinements offer improved gameplay flow while preserving the strategic elements central to the series.
With updated visuals, revised storytelling, and refined mechanics, this remake provides an accessible way to experience the Trails saga.
Exploring the New Depths of Trails in the Sky
The Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake reimagines the Liberl Kingdom with 3D visuals. Towns, landscapes, and environments have been recreated to showcase the world’s details. Updated character designs, including Estelle Bright and Joshua Bright, provide fresh visual clarity while staying true to their original appearances.
Alongside its visual updates, the game includes a variety of content to explore. Quests, hidden secrets, and side activities provide opportunities to engage with the world of Zemuria. You can help citizens through Bracer missions or uncover hidden treasures throughout their journey.
This remake combines elements of the original with modern updates, making it accessible to both longtime fans and new players.
