NIS America has exciting news for Switch owners – The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is set to release on the console in early 2025. This announcement comes hot on the heels of the first installment’s launch, which is happening today. It’s impressive how quickly NIS is moving with this franchise, which has been captivating players since Trails in the Sky debuted on PC back in 2004. The game initially launched in Japan on PS4 and PS5 in 2022.
For those who haven’t read our review of the first Trails Through Daybreak, we highly recommend checking it out. We gave it a solid 8/10 rating, praising its engaging turn-based combat and memorable characters that make the most of the new setting. Now, let’s dive into what we can expect from the sequel according to NIS America:
The sequel takes place in Calvard, where the residents have finally found peace after the threat of the mafia organization Almata has subsided. However, a series of mysterious murders involving a crimson beast shakes up the tranquility, setting various factions into motion. Some are determined to uncover the truth behind the killings, while others seek to exploit the chaos for their own gain.
As chaos descends once again, the spriggan Van Arkride finds himself embroiled in an unexpected investigation after a surprising visitor arrives. The story delves into the motives behind the murders and the identities of those responsible, bringing together both familiar faces and new characters in a thrilling tale that is the second installment in the Trails through Daybreak saga.
