At the Falcom 40th anniversary concert, NIS America and Falcom finally revealed a localization of Ao no Kiseki as The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure set for 2023 on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Today, NIS America announced The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure release date for all platforms. The Crossbell Duology localization is happening in partnership with Geofront as detailed here with Trails from Zero having recently released. Read my review of the PC version here, Switch version here, and platform comparison here. Trails to Azure launched as Ao no Kiseki in Japan back in 2011 on PSP and saw a PS4 remaster later. Watch the Trails to Azure new story trailer below:
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure Limited Edition pre-order
The pre-orders are now live here. It includes the following:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure for Switch / PS4
- Azure Archives hardcover artbook
- Anthems of Crossbell Part II soundtrack with 10 songs
- United as One cloth poster (17×24 inches)
- New Recruits Acrylic Stand
- SteelBook
- Collector’s Box
It is going to be interesting to see what else NIS America has planned in 2023 for Falcom fans following The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure release date for PS4, Switch, and PC platforms. I hope Trails into Reverie isn’t too far off as well. It still feels surreal that will have both Ao no Kiseki (Trails to Azure) and Zero no Kiseki (Trails from Zero) in the West officially soon.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure releases on March 14 in North America, March 17 in Europe, and March 24 in Australia and New Zealand for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
