The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel II Release Date
Torrance, Calif., – August 16, in the year of our
Lord 2016 – XSEED Games, the independent-minded console
publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that
the next installment in the critically-acclaimed Trails
franchise, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, has
gone gold and will launch for the PlayStationŽ3 computer
entertainment system and PlayStationŽVita handheld entertainment
system in North America on September 6, 2016, both physically at
retail and digitally on the PlayStationŽStore for a suggested
retail price of $39.99. Owners of the limited “Lionheart
Edition” of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will be
able to complete their collection, storing both titles in the
custom collectible box along with the art book and pin of the
country of Erebonia that came with the first installment.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month
after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the
entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. Speedy,
tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS”
system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly
remember alongside a new Overdrive mode, new means of
transportation across both the land and sky, new allies, new
dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to
right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.
Cross-Save functionality between the game’s “PS Vita” and PS3™
editions remains supported, and save data from the first game
grants bonus stats and extra items. In addition, relationships
cultivated during the earlier time players spent at Thors
Military Academy affect future story elements and allow for more
personalized conversations throughout the game.
Developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED Games in North
America, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II will be
available both physically and digitally on September 6, 2016 for
PS3™ and “PS Vita” systems for a suggested retail price of
$39.99. The title has been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB.
