With all the stakes involved, it’s perhaps unsurprising to see characters from other sagas, including Trails of Cold Steel, appear. According to new information by Falcom (via Gematsu), protagonist Rean Schwarzer returns alongside other Class VII members like Crow Armbrust and Altina Orion.

Fie Claussel is also confirmed after appearing in Trails through Daybreak (and the upcoming Trails through Daybreak 2). Towa Herschel, who supported the group through the series, also returns, venturing to a facility that her astronomer grandfather once visited.

Each character has their own goals in Kai no Kiseki, with Rean invited to the Republic of Calvard for some unknown reason and Altina fulfilling a request for the Epstein Foundation. Crow works with Marduk Total Security Company, whose HQ is in Ored. With Van and the others venturing to the same place, their interactions should be intriguing.

The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki – Farewell, O Zemuria launches on September 26th in Japan. Stay tuned for details on its Western release in the future. In the meantime, Trails through Daybreak 2 will launch in early 2025 for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

As the follow-up to The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki 2 -CRIMSON SiN-, the story concerns Operation Startaker, conducted by the Republic of Calvard to send humans into space and explore “beyond the atmosphere.” Meanwhile, Van Arkride and his allies are converging on Ored with a purpose. With the ruin of Zemuria prophesized for 120X, there’s a lot of foreboding heading into the next chapter.

Of course, Western players will need to wait to get their hands on the title (and its predecessor, which still doesn’t have a global release date). Fortunately, Kuro no Kiseki is coming to North America and Europe as The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak. It launches on July 5th for PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
