NIS America has announced that The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is set to launch in January 2026.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon will see a global launch for the PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, along with the PC, on January 15, 2026. Players will once again take on the role of Van Arkride as he has been hired for another major case. As the people of Zemuria await the launch of humanity’s first foray into space, Van has been invited by Marduk to cooperate in a high-tech training exercise. This sets him and his agency on a collision course with the secrets at the very core of the continent.

The game is now available for pre-order with the option of the Deluxe Edition and the Limited Edition. The Deluxe Edition will include the base game, a mini art book, and a digital soundtrack. The Limited Edition will include the Deluxe Edition in a steelbook case, an art book, the official soundtrack, and an Acrykic Clock.

Additional information about Trails Beyond the Horizon will be announced in the future.

This will be the second game in the Daybreak arc of The Legend of Heroes series. The arc is set in the Calvard Republic following the events of Trails into Reverie. The story follows Van Arkide, a spriggan (a bounty hunter and private detective rolled into one) tasked with solving a series of cases. Trails through Daybreak is the first entry in the Daybreak arc and saw a global release on July 5, 2024.

Trails Through Daybreak II launched in February 2025 and you can check out our review of the PC version to learn more.
