Fans of The Legend of Heroes series will no doubt point out that both original PSP titles Trails from Zero and now its sequel Trails to Azure have an almost legendary status amongst turn-based RPG fans. While access to these games was once difficult to attain, fan translations from The Geofront have actually led to the official English release of this duology for the very first time – showing that hard work, love, and dedication to something can truly pay off in a huge way for players. As a follow-up to The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, this entry ties up the ends to the Crossbell arc, which is lauded by some as the absolute pinnacle of the series as a whole.

Here’s some information about The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki as well as a trailer:

While a western release has not been announced, eastern fans of the Trails games will be delighted to see that The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I and II will both arrive on Switch in Summer 2021 in Japan, and June and July in Korea. The Trails series has seen several ports and releases on multiple platforms, including the PS Vita and PC via Steam, but Clouded Leopard Entertainment who is in charge of these particular ports is only known to support Traditional Chinese and Korean subtitles and have no association to the ports by western publishers XSEED Games and NIS America.

Additionally, it would appear that Clouded Leopard Entertainment will release Switch versions of The Legend of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki on February 18, 2021 and The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki on April 22, 2021 in Korea, with no current word of a Japanese release.
