Trails in the Sky series developer Nihon Falcom announced<\/a> on September 16 that it has signed a licensing agreement with South Korean developer Neowiz (best known for publishing Lies of P) for its title The Legend of Heroes III: Shiroki Majo<\/strong>, also known as The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch<\/strong> in North America. Under the new agreement, the two companies will give the game a new release for PC and consoles, both in Japan and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch is the third installment of Falcom\u2019s long-running The Legend of Heroes series, released in 1994 for the PC-9801. The game is set in the world of Tirasweel, depicting the pilgrimage of a boy named Jurio and a girl named Chris. Together with The Legend of Heroes IV: Akai Shizuku (NA title: The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion) and The Legend of Heroes V: Umi no Oriuta (NA title: The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean) it forms the Gagharv trilogy \u2013 the predecessor to The Legend of Heroes: Trails series.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to a survey conducted by Dengeki Online<\/a> in 2021, the Gagharv trilogy took the first place in the category of \u201cTitles you\u2019d like to see on modern consoles,\u201d which makes the comeback of The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch a very exciting one for fans. Development of the game\u2019s revival with Neowiz is expected to start soon, and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing how it turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a related note, the game is currently available on Project EGG, a retro game distribution service developed by D4 Enterprises. The renewed edition of The Legend of Heroes III: Shiroki Majo was released in Japan in August 2026 as part of Project EGG\u2019s Nintendo Switch initiative EGG Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
