You can watch the Trails in the Sky the 1stChapter gameplay video via the Nihon Falcom X (formerly Twitter) account:

In the video, we can hear an updated version of the main battle theme, as well as see comparisons between FC and Trails in the Sky the 1st Chapter. It first starts off with showing the different Craft animations for Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, and Olivier. Then we can see how exploration and different locales look with the new engine. The original version of the game required a load as you moved between maps. However, we can see how Estelle and Joshua seamlessly make that transition in the remake.

Nihon Falcom first showed off The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st Chapter as a surprise announcement at the August 2024 Nintendo Direct. It is a refined remake of Trails in the Sky, which originally came out in 2004. Trails in the Sky is the first of the Trails series, which is part of the The Legend of Heroes series. Trails has gone on for 20 years now, with the 2024 Kai no Kiseki the latest entry.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st Chapter will come out for the PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC in Fall 2025. PC players can check out the minimum requirements here.
