Trails through Daybreak 2 to get English release
Nihon Falcom announced on July 8 that Trails through Daybreak 2 will be getting a multi-platform English release in early 2025 (source: Gamebiz). Set to be published by NIS America, a new trailer has also dropped for the English version.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak 2 is part of the long-running Trails series. It is a direct sequel to turn-based action RPG Trials through Daybreak, which came out in 2021, and saw an English release in 2024. In Trails through Daybreak 2, players will return to the Calvard Republic. Playing as bounty hunting detective Van Arkride, they must get to the bottom of a shocking series of murders. The English release of the game will give players the option of either English voice acting or Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.
With over 16 games, a rich lore and in-depth world-building, the Trails series can seem intimidating to new players, however the Trails through Daybreak games (Calvard Arc) have been cited as a good place to start. Trails series fans can hopefully expect even more announcements this year, as 2024 marks the series’ 20th anniversary. Nihon Falcom’s CEO previously hinted that the company is currently working on making earlier titles in the series more accessible.
Trails through Daybreak 2 is scheduled to be released on PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in early 2025. NIS America is also selling physical Limited Editions and Collector’s Editions on their store.
