The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon announces western release date for Nintendo Switch 2, Switch

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.

Falcom’s RPG was originally only planned as a Nintendo Switch 1 title. However, NIS America ended up delaying the overseas launch to ready a version for Nintendo Switch 2 as well.

To recap, here’s an overview of the game:

Van Arkride and the members of Arkride Solutions are back, and this time the future of the entire Zemurian continent is at stake! The people of Zemuria await the launch of humanity’s first foray into space with bated breath. A sudden invitation from Marduk to cooperate in a high-tech training exercise sets Van, Ashen Chevalier Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham on a collision course with the secrets at the very core of Zemuria.

Their paths may diverge, but the ultimate question remains the same: Just what lies beyond the edge of the horizon?

A new trailer that includes the release date news for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is attached below.
