Trails series developer Nihon Falcom published its full-year financial results<\/a> for the fiscal year ended September 2026. The company reported a significant increase in both revenue and profit, leveraged by the success of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter<\/strong> and KYOTO XANADU -the Blooming Phantom-<\/strong>, both of which released this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the accompanying presentation<\/a>, the developer also announced that it would be releasing the sequel to its 2024 RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon<\/strong> within the next fiscal year (between October 2026 and September 2027). The new game will be the fourteenth mainline installment in the Trails series, serving as a conclusion to the story of its predecessor and the broader Calvard arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is the only new Falcom title confirmed for the next year, the company is preparing more titles to be released in the future. According to their business plan from January 2026<\/a>, aside from a new Trails series entry (which likely referred to the Trails Beyond the Horizon sequel), Falcom is currently developing a new Ys series game, as well as another unnamed title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is set to release in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
