GungHo America released a snippet with Nihon Falcom CEO and President Toshihiro Kondo regarding new players of Trails in the Sky. He was asked what advice he’d give new players introduced to the series through the first game’s remake, but in the process, he also teased ideas of future remakes from the franchise.

Kondo credited 1st Chapter’s success with making the 2nd Chapter remake an easy greenlight. Despite 2nd Chapter still being in development, the team is already asking whether Trails in the Sky the 3rd or Trails from Zero will be next.

During the interview, Kondo also stated that they made the first game’s remake with beginners in mind. He says that with the series’ 20+ year history, it’s not easy to jump into the latest title immediately. Kondo also hoped that 1st Chapter wouldn’t just serve as an introduction to the series but to RPGs and JRPGs in general as well.

The Nihon Falcom CEO stated, ‘We’re hoping to continue the remakes for a while,’ so that new players can smoothly transition to the latest entry in the series. Kondo added, ‘So, if we do make another game after 2nd Chapter, we hope you’ll pick up that one as well.’

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is the remake of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, which launched in 2006. Twenty years later, it’s reintroduced to a new audience while old players get to experience it with revamped graphics, expanded combat, and several other quality-of-life improvements.

The demo for 2nd Chapter is out now, where players can play through the prologue and first chapter. Saved progress can be transferred when the full game comes out on September 17 on PC, PS5, and Switch 1 & 2.
