Nihon Falcom’s Trails sales have reached over 8.5 million units worldwide. This is a new milestone for the otherwise niche JRPG, which has now seen several Japanese exclusive titles made their way to the West. [Thanks, ryokutya!]
In June 2024, Nihon Falcom released Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak, which we felt pretty favorably towards. And in August 2024, as part of a sizzle reel during a Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st would appear on the Nintendo Switch. This is a remake of the first The Legend of Heroes: Trails title. It will release sometime in 2025. This will no doubt bolster sales for the Trails series.
Additionally, a Legend of Heroes: Trails trading game is set to launch in November 2025. It will feature notable characters from the series such as Estelle and Joshua Bright. They will appeared as free promotional cards in Japan in June 2024. Pre-orders for the TCG packs began in June 2024 as well. The release date will fall in November 29, 2024.
In May 2024, Nihon Falcom also revealed a series of 20th anniversary merchandise for the series. This included a smartphone stand, a set of acrylic keychains, and a wine bottle.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st will release in 2025 on the Nintendo Switch.
