During the NIS America Stream, the team there announced The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is coming in the Summer of 2024 to multiple platforms for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. With this new Trails game, players will be launching into a new rich beautiful visual world with intense combat with a new alignment system and high-speed mode that will craft to your own gameplay experience. For someone who is a fan of the Legend of Heroes series, this is one game I don’t want to miss out on, I am all for a new Trails game with a rich story and character Design.
The story so far…
So, the game takes place in the aftermath of a brief war, Calvard is enjoying unprecedented economic prosperity. However, the public grows uncertain as the number of immigrants increases and questionable political reform runs rampant. Follow the spriggan Van Arkride on a unique request that will prove more than he bargained for. Will the nation fall into chaos?
The spriggan’s life is but one of many professions that have emerged from the Calvard Republic. Be it playing detective, negotiator, or bounty hunter, Van Arkride takes on the kind of work that legitimate sources can’t accept. Whether it’s best left out of the public eye or rooted in the dark corners of the underworld, almost any job is open for consideration.
The year is S.1208. A prim-and-proper young lady dressed in the uniform of an esteemed academy visits a rundown multi-tenant building in the Old Town district of Edith, the nation’s capital. With a most dignified gaze, she looks upon the plaque of the door before her. It reads: ‘ARKRIDE Solutions Office: Complicated Matters Only.’
Steeling herself, she knocks on the door three times.
“First thing in the morning…?” a relaxed yet surprisingly young voice grumbles with a yawn.
From the moment he opens the door to greet her, a new tale begins.
Some Key Details:
- A Case in Calvard: Follow the spriggan known as Van Arkride as he takes on a case that will change the nation’s fate…as well as his own. Explore the reaches of the Calvard Republic while immersing yourself in a rich story filled with action and intrigue.
- Spriggan to Action: Transition seamlessly between action field battles and turn-based combat with the revamped AT (Action Time) Battle system, and expand your arsenal with new Shard Skills, courtesy of the sixth-generation combat orbment, Xipha.
- Between Law and Chaos: Under the Alignment system, your choices and actions affect how your story unfolds. Your propensity towards Law, Chaos, and the shades in-between can influence your status in the city, who will ally with or oppose you, and even what jobs and dialogue options are available to you.
Fans of the upcoming game can look forward to an immersive experience as it offers both English and Japanese voice-over options along with English text subtitles. With a release date scheduled for Summer 2024, players will have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the game’s world and storyline while enjoying the language options of their choice.
From the character designs and the beautiful combat mode, Trails through Daybreak also known as Kuro no Kiseki is a trail game that shouldn’t be missed and will be added to my list of games that I am looking forward for 2024 especially since I been a fan of the series since the beginning. If you have been waiting for a new trial game that is coming out next year, this is one game you don’t want to miss out especially if you are a fan of the series.
