The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II preview

Nihon Falcom has long been known for delivering compelling RPGs that blend peerless storytelling with robust and engaging gameplay mechanics. The studio’s latest entry continues this tradition, promising an experience that builds on its predecessor while introducing new elements to keep players engaged. With its western release set for February 14, 2025, anticipation is high among fans of the series. Having attended a preview event for the game, I’m excited to share a deeper dive into its features, beginning with the refined battle system that has become a hallmark of the franchise.

Phantom Brave The Lost Hero demo

January 13: Those eager to get their hands on Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero will be happy to hear that NIS America just confirmed plans to distribute a demo. The trial goes live on Friday, January 17. You’ll be able to download it from the Nintendo eShop.

NIS America didn’t elaborate on what the Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero has to offer, but it should give players a small taste of the game. Save data will carry over to the full version.

Phantom Brave Lost Hero interview

Nippon Ichi Software surprised fans earlier in the year by announcing Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, which means the original game is finally getting a sequel after twenty years. In a recent interview, the company explained how it came to be.

Interestingly, it sounds like NIS didn’t really attempt making a sequel previously. Things were only set in motion after a western poll showed the popularity of Phantom Brave’s characters.

Phantom Brave The Lost Hero release date

September 26: Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero received a release date on Switch today. The game will be available for Switch on January 30, 2025. A demo will be published sometime this year.

When Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero was announced in a Nintendo Direct, the game initially had a general Spring 2025 window. This is the first time that the franchise is being revisited in two decades.

Ys X Nordics review Switch

System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2024
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: NIS America


Adol Christin has certainly led an interesting life. Across the series’ thirty-six year lifespan he’s crossed numerous continents, explored the ruins of civilizations past, and saved the world from dire threat on more than one occasion. But, fearless adventurer that he may be, Adol has never had much luck with ships. It seems that every time Adol sets foot on a ship it ends up sinking due to one circumstance or another, so putting him at the helm of one probably sounds like a bad idea. However, Ys X: Nordics does just that, and manages to mostly stay the course to deliver yet another solid entry in the series.

Ys X demo

October 14: Heads up for Ys X: Nordics fans – a demo for the game was just released. NIS America is giving Switch owners a taste of the action ahead of the full launch later this month.

The demo provides fast-paced fighting action, powerful offense, and defense in Solo Mode and Duo Mode, charged elemental attacks with Mana Burst, sailing gameplay, battles on land and sea, and more. Additionally, save data from the demo carries over to the full game.
