Good news for Sora no Kiseki (Trails in the Sky) fans—Nihon Falcom’s remake of its acclaimed JRPG series is set to launch on September 25, according to a gaming market listing.
The game is reportedly priced at $60 for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions.
Two decades after its original release on older consoles, longtime fans will finally see the return of Estelle and Joshua Bright in this highly anticipated remake. The land of Liberl is reborn with stunning new visual detail, befitting its remake status.
Fans of the series’ classic turn-based combat can enjoy a refined approach to its strategic gameplay, while those seeking a fresh experience can opt for the new real-time action system—perfect for players who grew up with games like Star Ocean.
Joshua, Estelle, and the rest of the cast from Trails in the Sky: First Chapter will also feature new voiceovers in both English and Japanese, breathing new life into the game’s classic JRPG charm with a modern touch.

This reimagining of the first chapter in the beloved Trails series served as many fans’ first introduction to its rich world. The remake invites both new and returning players to experience the political intrigue, deep friendships, and dramatic events that unfold for Joshua, Estelle, and their fellow Bracers.
There’s no word yet on a remake of the Second Chapter, but if this first entry proves successful for Nihon Falcom, we may see the continuation of the First Chapter’s climactic ending in its sequel and it will be brought to life with breathtaking new visuals.
