GungHo Entertainment and Nihon Falcom have shared a brand new trailer for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, the upcoming remake of the first Trails / Kiseki game, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.
This time around, we’ve got a brief introduction to all eight of the main playable characters, as well as confirmation of their voice actors. Alongside that, the official website has been updated with character profiles, artwork, and screenshots of each character.

We’re sure if you’ve played any other Trails game on Switch that you recognise most of these faces, but for many, this will be their first time experiencing the very first chapter in the Kiseki saga.
The original Trails in the Sky launches on PC in Japan in 2004 and was ported to PSP in 2006. It wouldn’t make its way West until 2011, with the PC version following in 2012.
The most recent Trails game to release in English was Trails through Daybreak II, which we thought was solid, but far from the best the series has to offer.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter launches in Fall 2025. Are you excited to visit Liberl? Let us know in the comments.
