Four Nihon Falcom Titles Announced for Western Release!
NIS America is excited to announce that FOUR titles from Nihon Falcom will be coming to the West: The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure, The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, and The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails. This quartet of legendary RPGs will be released simultaneously for PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, and PC in North America, Europe, and Oceania!
In addition, we’re pleased to share that the two titles of the Crossbell duology, Trails from Zero
and Trails to Azure, will be localized in collaboration with the Geofront group!
Statement from the Geofront:
The Geofront has always had one primary goal at the forefront of our minds: to give the localizations of Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure the love and care that games of their quality deserve. Over the past few years, our team has put time, effort, and passion into our work on this duology and we are immensely proud of what we managed to accomplish. That being said, we understand that there are some things beyond our reach. That’s why we are proud to announce our partnership with NIS America to bring Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure to the West.
Many thought a collaboration of this sort was just a pipe dream, but NISA, the Geofront, as well as the original translation team have come together to help release official localizations of the Crossbell duology. This partnership will give us the opportunity to bring our work to more platforms than originally available to us, such as PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and will ultimately support Nihon Falcom and their games more than we could independently. Everyone at the Geofront is confident in what the future holds for
these two games, and we hope everyone is looking forward to joining Lloyd Bannings and the Special Support Section as they solve the mysteries that await them in Crossbell State.
Statement from Whittington Wiman, Project Lead of the Geofront’s Trails from Zero:
Working on Trails from Zero was a life-changing experience and one that I will forever cherish. From the very beginning, I always wanted more people to be able to experience these wonderful games in the quality they deserve—and, with our partnership with NIS America, I know that will happen. I have nothing but respect for the Geofront, the NIS America team, and the fans that have supported us along the way. This wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Statement from Scott, Project Lead of the Geofront’s Trails to Azure:
Leading the Geofront’s Trails to Azure—my favorite game ever made—was a dream come true, and forging a partnership with NIS America for an official release is even more surreal. I’m thankful for the confidence the fans and NIS America have put in the Geofront that is allowing me to share my favorite game with the West. Thank you all for changing my life, and I look forward to so many more fans being able to experience the Crossbell arc for the very first time.
