Nihon Falcom, the renowned developer behind the acclaimed Trails series, has officially announced a release window for the highly anticipated remake of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC.
According to the company's most recent financial report for September 2025, the second chapter of this fan-favorite JRPG is scheduled to launch by the end of the fiscal year, September 2026.
This marks an important moment for longtime fans as the franchise continues to reach both new and returning players on modern platforms. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, known for its immersive storytelling and memorable characters, has long held a special place among RPG enthusiasts.
The announcement follows closely on the heels of the recent release of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, which debuted on September 19, 2025.
The Switch 2 version of the 1st Chapter received updated image quality and performance settings, while a free demo is available for download on the Nintendo eShop, expanding the reach of the series to new audiences. In an interview highlighted by Push Square, Nihon Falcom’s president, Toshihiro Kondo, confirmed the significance of bringing the second entry in the series to modern hardware.
"If we didn’t follow up with a remake of Trails in the Sky SC, our fans would say, ‘You must be joking.’ Therefore, bringing a remake that captures the essence of the 2nd Chapter is something we believe is essential," Kondo explained.
His remarks echo widespread sentiment within the community, given that the second chapter is lauded for its gripping narrative and deep character development. Push Square also observed that Trails in the Sky SC is frequently praised as one of the best entries in the franchise.
Its challenging boss battles and emotional story arcs have cemented its reputation among players, ensuring anticipation remains high for this modern update.
While interest is growing regarding potential remakes of other titles in the Trails in the Sky trilogy, Kondo noted that the possibility of remaking the third installment would largely depend on the level of fan demand. As of now, Nihon Falcom has not confirmed any specific hardware platforms for the Trails in the Sky SC remake.
Given the success of the first chapter’s launch on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, fans remain hopeful for similar availability.
Once an official platform announcement is made, industry watchers can expect further updates.
For now, excitement continues to build as one of the genre’s classic titles prepares for its return to the spotlight by September 2026.
