A recent leak from a Canadian retailer may have accidentally revealed the release date for the highly anticipated Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake. According to the listing, the updated version of this JRPG classic is expected to hit shelves on September 25, 2025.
🎮 A Legendary JRPG Returns
While Trails in the Sky may not be a household name in the West, fans of the JRPG genre recognize its importance in the larger Trails universe. Developed by Nihon Falcom, the Trails series includes 13 main games spanning story arcs like Trails of Cold Steel and Trails Through Daybreak.
This remake revisits the original 2004 Trails in the Sky game, which follows Estelle Bright, a young Bracer who gets caught in a plot to overthrow the monarchy of Liberl. Estelle’s charm and heroism have cemented her as one of the most beloved JRPG protagonists of all time.
