Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Arrives This September

Wait, where did I put my coffee again? Anyway, listen up! So GungHo Online Entertainment America is dropping this remake—Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, you know? It’s happening on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5—both digital, physical, you name it—starting September 19. Seriously, go check it out or something!

So here’s the lowdown. This game, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, has been a thing. It kicked off the whole Trails series. It’s like, landmark status or whatever. Now it’s getting a total makeover in whiz-bang 3D. Imagine Liberl Kingdom just popping out of the screen, with Estelle—who’s a mix of headstrong yet charming flair—and Joshua, that cool, enigmatic type. This is going to be wild.

Alright, let’s dive into it. Two battle modes: field action and turn-based combat. Seamless transitions, they say. You’ll see each character’s special moves or, uh, Crafts and magic, called Arts. The battles are gonna be quite the ride. The game’s keeping that eye candy Liberl aesthetic, too. And oh boy, quests galore! Get ready to dive deep into all kinds of side content.

Estelle and Joshua, they’re on a mission. Their dad, Cassius, up and disappears, and they start snooping around Liberl Kingdom. They’re bound to meet some new friends, face those bittersweet goodbyes, and uncover their fate. Wow, that sounds intense, right?

Oh—check out some promo pics. If digital isn’t your thing, there’s some collector joy here: Steelbook Edition ($79.99) and the Bracer Edition ($179.99). Here’s what you get with Steelbook: a standard edition game, DLC costumes, a shiny foil slipcover, and that cool SteelBook® thing. Throw in some classic costumes for Estelle and Joshua—if you’re into that. And did I mention the Bracer Edition? It’s got extras like a wooden music box (nice touch), art book, soundtrack CD, a cloth map. Even a Bracer Guild Notebook if you’re all about that stationery life.

Now, if you’re Stateside, pre-order those collector bits through Limited Run Games. Folks in Europe? Clear River Games and others have got you covered for the Standard and Collector’s Editions. More deets on that later, I guess!

So, why am I telling you all this? Seriously, the anticipation is killing me—just waiting to get wrapped up in this thing. I mean, isn’t it wild how a game can bring folks together? Ah, anyway, that’s the scoop. Maybe go check it out if it caught your fancy, or not. Whatever floats your boat!
