NIS America has announced that The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II will be released on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC in early 2025. An announcement trailer for the RPG sequel’s localization has been released as well.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II was originally released in Japan for PS4/PS5 in 2022 as The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -Crimson Sin-. Its predecessor was first released in Japan in 2021 as a PS4 title and has since been ported to PS5, Steam, and, much more recently, Switch. The English localization of The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak became available this month.
Both Nihon Falcom-developed games are part of the Trails series that began in 2004, and the Trails series is itself part of a larger franchise called The Legend of Heroes, which began in 1989.
Here’s the plot for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II:
No longer threatened by the mafia organization Almata, the people of Calvard have returned to their peaceful lives. But one day, a shocking series of murders involving a mysterious crimson beast sets the wheels of fate in motion once again. Various factions spring into action – both those who abide by the law to uncover the truth and those looking to capitalize on any new developments wherever possible, no matter how sinister.
With chaos once again looming on the horizon, the spriggan Van Arkride receives an unexpected visitor, prompting his own investigation. Who is behind the murders, and what is their goal? The sands of time bring old and new faces together for this thrilling second installment in the Trails through Daybreak saga.
