Nihon Falcom plans to release the sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon in Japan by September 2027. The release window was confirmed in the company’s financial results published on November 11, 2026, covering the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2026.
The financial report identifies the upcoming game as a direct sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki -Farewell, O Zemuria-, the Japanese title of Trails beyond the Horizon. Falcom has scheduled the new installment for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, establishing a formal release window for the next chapter in the long-running RPG series.
Although Falcom has confirmed the Japanese release window, it has not announced an exact launch date, a worldwide release schedule, or supported platforms for the sequel.
The announcement follows earlier comments from Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo about the direction of the Trails series. In a September 2026 Famitsu interview, Kondo discussed plans to conclude the storyline established in Trails beyond the Horizon with its sequel.
Trails beyond the Horizon originally launched in Japan in September 2024 under the title Kai no Kiseki -Farewell, O Zemuria-. Its English-language release followed in January 2026, bringing the latest chapter of the interconnected Trails storyline to international audiences.
Falcom’s recent release schedule has also included two remakes of the series’ earlier installments. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter launched in September 2025, followed by Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter in September 2026. Both titles received worldwide releases across Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
The company’s latest financial outlook indicates that the Trails beyond the Horizon sequel will be its only new game release during the fiscal year ending September 2027. Falcom also plans to release several ports of existing titles during that period.
This schedule provides additional context for the potential timing of further Trails remakes. Although Kondo previously discussed interest in continuing the remake series, including Trails in the Sky the 3rd, Falcom has not formally announced that project or provided a release window.
Falcom expects revenue and profit to decline during the upcoming fiscal year, partly because it plans to release only one new game and anticipates sales of its recent Trails in the Sky titles returning to more typical levels.
The company forecasts revenue of approximately 3 billion yen for the fiscal year ending September 2027, compared with approximately 4.47 billion yen recorded in the previous year. Operating profit is projected to fall from approximately 2.87 billion yen to 1.5 billion yen.
For Trails players, the new financial disclosure establishes Japan’s September 2027 release deadline as Falcom’s current target for the next mainline installment. Further details about the sequel’s official title, platforms, and international availability remain unannounced.
