Developer Falcom and its western publisher GungHo Online Entertainment have confirmed that the highly anticipated Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will be released on the PlayStation 5 in the fall of 2026. This announcement comes shortly after the upcoming release of Trails beyond the Horizon, which is set to launch in just over a month, published by NIS America.
Fans of the series had speculated that the second chapter would be released later in 2026, and the confirmation aligns with those expectations. The timing allows players ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which was made available in September 2023.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is not merely a sequel; it is a full remake of Trails in the Sky SC, the second installment in Falcom’s long-standing role-playing game franchise. If this remake maintains the same impressive level of detail and polish as its predecessor, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which has been acclaimed as one of the best RPGs of 2025, it could stand among Falcom’s most significant achievements to date.
The narrative of Trails in the Sky SC is particularly noteworthy, as it builds upon the events established in the first chapter. The expectation is that the remake will faithfully recreate the original plot, generating considerable excitement among fans eager to delve deeper into its complex storyline.
The anticipation surrounding the release continues to grow, and it raises questions about character motivations, particularly that of Joshua, a key figure in the narrative. As the release date approaches, players are encouraged to share their thoughts and theories in the comments section, igniting discussions about the beloved characters and storyline.
As Falcom pushes forward with this project, the gaming community watches closely, eager to see how this new installment will shape the legacy of the Trails series. The combination of a rich story and modern gameplay enhancements positions Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter as a significant title for both new and returning players.
