NIS America has released a new Story Recap trailer for The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon ahead of its January 15, 2026 launch. It’s designed as a refresher for anyone getting ready to jump into Van Arkride’s next chapter, especially if it’s been a while since you last checked in on the Trails series.
Important Spoiler Warning Before You Watch
Before hitting play, it’s worth flagging that this recap trailer includes major spoilers for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II. If you’re not fully caught up and want to experience that story firsthand, you’ll want to save the video for later.
What the Story is Building Toward
The game brings Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions crew back into focus, this time with the fate of the entire Zemurian continent hanging in the balance. As humanity prepares for its first step into space, an unexpected invitation from Marduk pulls Van into a high-tech training exercise that also involves familiar faces like Rean Schwarzer and Kevin Graham.
For longtime fans, this setup clearly signals a convergence point. Trails beyond the Horizon is positioned as a major moment for the series, weaving together paths from across Zemuria as the overarching story moves deeper into what NIS America describes as the final chapter.
What to Expect When You Jump Back In
Beyond the story setup, Trails beyond the Horizon continues to push how flexible combat and party setups can be.Combat puts more focus on moment-to-moment choices, giving you extra ways to slow things down, line up abilities, and react instead of falling into autopilot.
There’s also a stronger focus on experimentation. Side content like Grim Garten gives you room to mix and match characters from across Calvard and beyond, letting you test different party combinations without committing to a single path.
If you’re planning to start on day one, the recap trailer works as a quick reset on where the story stands. Just make sure you’re ready for spoilers if you decide to watch it now.
Launch Date and Platforms
The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon launches on January 15, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
