NIS America just came through with the final western release date for The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon in the west. On both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, it’s due out on January 17, 2026.

Below are the first details for the upcoming project:

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 turned out to be a fairly standard entry in the Nintendo x SEGA crossover sports series, but it seems that the original plan for the game was originally much grander.
