Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter expands its cast with several important characters who play major roles in the unfolding narrative across Liberl Kingdom.
Among them is Anelace Elfead, a newly promoted senior bracer and granddaughter of Yun Ka-fai, founder of the Eight Leaves One Blade swordsmanship school. Despite her cheerful personality and fondness for cute things, she remains determined to live up to her family legacy.
Kevin Graham, a traveling priest of the Septian Church, also appears with his relaxed demeanor and hidden motivations tied to his presence in Liberl. Meanwhile, Major Mueller Vander, a skilled swordsman from the Erebonian Empire, supports diplomatic efforts while maintaining close ties to Olivier.
Other notable figures include Captain Julia Schwarz, commander of Queen Alicia’s Royal Guard and captain of the advanced airship Arseille; Leonhardt, the powerful Ouroboros Enforcer known as the “Bladelord”; Weissmann the Faceless, the manipulative figure guiding Ouroboros’ operations; and Renne, a mysterious young traveler whose encounter with Estelle becomes increasingly significant as the story progresses.
Continuing One of the Trails Series’ Most Important Story Arcs
As the second chapter of the Liberl storyline, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter builds directly on the events of the previous entry while expanding the political tensions, character relationships, and mysteries surrounding the Ouroboros organization.
With its global release set for September 17 across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the remake continues Falcom’s effort to modernize one of the most influential arcs in the long-running Trails series for both returning fans and newcomers alike.
