For more than two decades, The Legend of Heroes has been quietly building one of the most intricate and patient narratives in video game history. What began in 2004 with Trails in the Sky evolved into a sprawling, interconnected saga spanning multiple arcs, continents, and generations of characters, all unfolding within a single, meticulously constructed world. Unlike many long-running RPG franchises that reset with each entry, the Trails series treats its timeline as sacred: political shifts linger, personal choices echo forward, and side characters return years later shaped by events players once thought complete. By the time Trails Beyond the Horizon arrives, it does not stand alone so much as it stands atop the accumulated weight of twenty years of storytelling ambition. With that legacy in mind, Trails Beyond the Horizon arrives with immense expectations.

Predicting Nintendo's 2026

Here’s what we can expect from Nintendo in 2026: video games. And also spending a ton of money on them. So far, Nintendo’s first and second-party output includes Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Switch 2 Editions of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. We’re already getting these games, so I won’t talk about any of these titles at length. Instead, we’re talking about all-new content we can potentially look forward to this year.
