Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Overview
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a forthcoming remake of the original 2004 role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom. It is scheduled for a worldwide release in fall 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.
In the Kingdom of Liberl, a small nation on the continent of Zemuria, players follow Estelle Bright and her adoptive brother, Joshua, as they embark on a journey to become Bracers—members of an organization dedicated to maintaining peace and aiding civilians. Their quest takes a turn when their father, Cassius Bright, goes missing, leading them to uncover a conspiracy that threatens the stability of their homeland.
This remake introduces several enhancements to the original’s gameplay. The Liberl Kingdom has been recreated in full 3D with updated visuals and character models. The combat system now features a hybrid model that allows players to switch between "Field Action" and "Command Battle" modes.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Gameplay
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter aims to preserve the core experience of the original while incorporating modern enhancements. The combat system now integrates a hybrid approach, much like that in Trails Through Daybreak and Trails Through Daybreak 2. Combat can now seamlessly transition between Field Action and Command Battle modes. The former sees players fighting enemies in real-time action combat, while the latter sticks to the turn-based system of the original game, where players manage character actions like movement, standard attacks, Arts, Crafts, and S-Crafts—powerful abilities that significantly impact the outcome of battles. Encounters will function similarly to the original game, with monsters appearing randomly on the world map. Players then have the option to engage or avoid these battles.
The remake also introduces significant upgrades to the overall presentation. The Kingdom of Liberl has been fully realized in 3D with refined character models and updated visuals. Players can expect a wealth of quests, side activities, and secrets that encourage thorough exploration and interaction with the game world.
