In the latest financial report from Falcom, the company confirmed that the next entry in the Trails series will be released in the next fiscal year, by the end of September 2027.

It’s been an unusually long wait for this series, with Trails Beyond the Horizon having been released in Japan in 2024.

A potentially three-year wait between new entries is the longest gap the series has had since the time between Cold Steel II and III, which was also three years.

Of course, since they released the Trails in the Sky remakes after Horizon, it hasn’t been a complete break for the series itself.

I took advantage of this extra-long gap to catch up on the series, and… okay, no. I haven’t played any Trails this year at all. I intended to start the next game after finishing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, and I’m still working on that. And that’s currently on hold for Fire Emblem, and…

But hey! There’s still a lot of time left. I probably won’t be caught up on the series by the time Horizon’s sequel comes out, but I might still make it before the next arc (maybe).

What about you? Are you champing at the bit for the sequel to Trails Beyond the Horizon, or are you still catching up on the series like me?

Are We Getting Tsukihime News Soon?

Could it finally be time?

I had no familiarity with the original Tsukihime, but once Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon came out, I played it and loved it.

But although I referred to it as the Tsukihime remake, it only covers two routes.

The second half, Tsukihime: The Other Side of Red Garden, is still upcoming… with barely any news about it despite A Piece of Blue Glass Moon coming out in Japan in 2021.

So it’s been a while.

Now, however, something might actually be happening. Type-Moon announced the Type-Moon Project New Year’s Eve TV Special 2026, a live stream set for December 31. This live stream is an annual event, but in the past it was called the Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special, so calling it the Type-Moon Project implies it will have content outside of Fate.

More importantly, the announcement features a logo previously used for Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon.

So it seems like a safe bet that this year’s live stream could actually involve Tsukihime news. Will that mean the official reveal of The Other Side of Red Garden? Here’s hoping. While it looks like Tsukihime will be featured in some way, it could end up being a spin-off, collab, or something else that isn’t the remake.

If Red Garden takes much longer, I might end up searching for a way to play the original Tsukihime instead… Actually, I might end up doing that eventually anyway just to compare the two, but I had intended to play the remakes first since that’s how I started.

Let the countdown to December 31 start now. Do you think we’ll get Red Garden news?

Cybird Announces Dark Fantasy Otome LunaReverse

Cybird, known for the Ikemen series of mobile otome games, has announced a console game for the first time.

Described as a dark fantasy visual novel, LunaReverse is in development for Switch and PC.

All we know about the story so far is the text on the website and in the teaser:

“This is the story of my revenge–and the story of my fall…
What awaits me below? Paradise… or darkness?”

Although the website doesn’t specifically call it an otome game, its producer and director Hiroto Kuramasu had previously referenced working on a console otome game, so it’s a safe assumption to make until more information comes out.

Even if it’s not, however, it looks like the sort of visual novel I’d enjoy.

I’ve never played any of Cybird’s previous games, since I’m not big on mobile games, but I’ve been intrigued by them, so I’m excited to see this.

LunaReverse will be available in Japanese, English, and Chinese, with no release window announced yet, and it’s one I’ll be keeping an eye on for sure.

Are you interested in LunaReverse?
