The acclaimed JRPG series ‘Trails’ celebrates its 20th anniversary with a complete remake of the first part: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will be released worldwide on 19 September 2025 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. (Pre-order here)
The remake brings back the original adventure of Estelle and Joshua Bright, two budding Bracers, in a completely remastered 3D world. The kingdom of Liberl has been redesigned in great detail to delight both long-time fans and new players. A key feature is the revamped combat system, which switches seamlessly between real-time ‘field action’ and classic turn-based ‘command battle’. This mechanic is reminiscent of modern titles in the series such as Trails through Daybreak. The new localisation is particularly noteworthy: for the first time, the game will be released with German, French and English subtitles as well as English and Japanese voice-overs. The translation has been completely revised to do justice to the original version.
Physical editions will be available for collectors: In Europe, Clear River Games will distribute the standard version, while Limited Run Games will offer a Collector’s Edition. With Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, both newcomers and veterans will have the opportunity to experience the origin of the epic ‘Trails’ saga in a modern guise. A must for all JRPG fans.
