Nihon Falcom has revealed that The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II will be released on July 25th, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch in Japan.
This version will feature various optimizations, such as a ‘High Speed Mode’ where you set individual speed settings for field and command battles. An ‘Archive’ feature will also be included, which gives you character introductions and a history of past events from the previous game.
About the game:
The latest chapter in the Trails saga is finally here! The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- features a streamlined version of the battle system from its predecessor, which swiftly and seamlessly transitions from field battles to command-based turn battles, as well as the LGC Alignment system, which allows players to change their character’s three unique attributes (Law, Gray, and Chaos) according to their playstyle, influencing their status, the forces they fight with or against, and even how the plot unfolds!
Furthermore, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- is loaded with unique content, including a variety of new challenges throughout the Republic of Calvard.
Prologue
S.1209. After the threat of the mafia organization Armata was gone, the Republic of Calvard regained its former peace. But one day, in a corner of Edith City, a bizarre incident occurs in which a CID (Central Intelligence Department) special operations squad was found slaughtered.
The Calvard Police and Bracer Guild begin investigating the matter. But sensing that a new time of chaos may come, underground factions also start making moves.
Meanwhile, Spriggan Van Arkride also begins his investigation, kickstarted by a visit from an unexpected someone.
Who is the culprit behind the massacre? Why did they do it? And what will happen to Agnes, who is searching for the Eighth Genesis, the last legacy of her great grandfather?
The brutish roar of a crimson beast, and an encounter with a young boy and girl seeking “something” will lead them down a “Trail” that they cannot escape.

Originally released by Nihon Falcom in 1987, the action RPG ‘Dragon Slayer IV DRASLEFAMILY’ will be released on April 11th, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch.
This entry marks the fourth installment in the “Dragon Slayer” series and was exclusively available for MSX and consumer versions.
About the game:
The game revolves around adventuring from a home base with a family of varying abilities, searching dungeons for the four crowns, and face the final battle against Dillgios. Designed to suit the hardware features of the MSX, swiftly navigate through the dungeon, defeating monsters and bosses with agile controls.
Considered an outlier among the Dragon Slayer series by PC fans, however, the game includes elements that can delight fans, such as the appearance of the heroine ““Serena Princess’s illustration”” from another title in the “Dragon Slayer” series within the dungeons.
This is an opportunity to take on the challenge. There might be a chance to discover a new facet of the Dragon Slayer series. How about giving it a try?
