The western release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has been confirmed for fall 2019.

It’s being handled by NIS America, which fans didn’t react well to (partly because of all the issues with Ys VIII’s localization).

However, according to RPG Site, NIS America has brought in people who worked on the previous Trails localizations to handle this, which is good news.

There are also reports that NIS America is in discussions with Falcom about the Crossbell arc (the two games between Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel).

Now, I haven’t actually watched the Trails of Cold Steel III trailer yet because I’m not sure if it will spoil anything for the previous games. I understand discussions of Trails of Cold Steel IV are a spoiler minefield.

Here is the trailer, though, for those of you who want to watch.

New information should be coming soon as well. So far, Trails of Cold Steel III has only been announced for the PS4.

Speaking of Trails, we’re coming up on a year since I finished Trails in the Sky. Maybe it’s about time I started Trails in the Sky SC.

Are you looking forward to Trails of Cold Steel III? How do you feel about NIS America handling it?

Trails in the Sky the 3rd and Trails of Cold Steel Coming to Steam

The Legend of Heroes series has caught my attention lately, especially since many fans celebrate it as one of the best classic-style turn-based RPG series still around.

Although I’m still at the start of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, I was excited to see the announcement today that Trails in the Sky the Third will be available through Steam on May 3.

But that’s not all! The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is also coming to Steam this summer, with over 5,000 new voiced lines compared to the PlayStation 3 and Vita versions.

(I have a copy of Trails of Cold Steel for the Vita, so I’ll probably stick with that, but it’s still interesting news.)

The Legend of Heroes is a large RPG series divided into several smaller series, all set in the same world. There’s another arc that goes between Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel, although there’s been no hints of localization for the “Crossbell Arc.”

Then again, with the way these announcements are coming, who knows?

Have you played any game in the Legend of Heroes series? Are you planning to pick up Trails in the Sky the 3rd or Trails of Cold Steel when they’re available from Steam?
