Ahead of its eagerly anticipated global launch, NIS America and Nihon Falcom have released an official story recap trailer for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond The Horizon, the next installment in the acclaimed Trails series.
Set for release on January 15, 2026, for both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, the latest trailer serves as a comprehensive primer for returning fans and newcomers alike. The new recap trailer thoughtfully revisits major story events from The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II and earlier entries, with explicit spoiler warnings for those yet to finish Daybreak II.

NIS America notes that whether you're jumping into the Trails saga for the first time or looking to refresh your memory, the retrospective will guide you through the series' deep narrative threads leading into the new chapter. According to NIS America, Trails Beyond The Horizon reunites Van Arkride and the members of Arkride Solutions.
This time, the stakes span the entire continent of Zemuria as humanity’s first attempt at space travel looms.
When Marduk extends an invitation to participate in a groundbreaking training exercise, heroes Van, Ashen Chevalier Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham are swept into a conflict that threatens to reveal Zemuria’s deepest secrets.
While each protagonist forges their own path, the central mystery persists: What awaits beyond the horizon? Key features in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond The Horizon include: - **Epic Narrative Crossroads**: Threads from all across Zemuria converge as the Trails series embarks on what promises to be its most ambitious storyline yet. - **Innovative Gameplay Mechanics**: The upcoming title introduces systems such as Shard Commands, Awakening, and the time-freezing Z.O.C., offering expanded tactical options for both Field and Command Battles. - **Team Building and Customization**: Players can assemble allies from Calvard, throughout the continent, and beyond.
A highlight is the Grim Garten dungeon, which allows players to tackle strategic challenges with their personally composed party to confront the machinations of Ouroboros. The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond The Horizon will be available both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2, expanding accessibility for series veterans and new players.
This official launch date marks another significant milestone for Nihon Falcom, whose dedication to intricate storytelling and deep RPG systems has earned the Trails series a dedicated global following. With its new story recap trailer, feature-rich gameplay, and commitment to narrative excellence, Trails Beyond The Horizon is poised to be one of 2026's most anticipated JRPG releases on Nintendo hardware.
