Trails of Cold Steel PC Release Date
Torrance, Calif. — July 19, in the year of our Lord
2017 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded console
publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, the start of a new
story arc in developer Nihon Falcom’s acclaimed series of
role-playing games, is headed to Windows PC on August 2, 2017
via Steam, GOG.com, and the Humble Store by Humble Bundle with a
launch week discount of 10% off the regular price of $39.99,
€39.99, and £29.99. Originally released in North America to wide
acclaim in 2015 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, The
Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will make its debut on
Windows PC with visual enhancements and over 5,000 new lines of
English voiceover dialogue (approximately a 50% increase).
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel builds on Nihon
Falcom’s beloved Trails franchise, improving on the series’
formula while delivering an expertly told, standalone narrative
that both series fans and newcomers alike will enjoy. Taking
place on the same continent as fan-favorite Trails in the Sky,
Trails of Cold Steel further explores Erebonia and gives players
a chance to delve deep into the inner political conflicts of
this oft-mentioned and powerful empire. Players take on the role
of elite military students at a time of great turmoil, who enjoy
school life as they bond with fellow students to earn new
abilities in battle, and then utilize those abilities via
tactical turn-based combat. In between skirmishes, players can
upgrade their party members with the “ARCUS” system – a
streamlined version of the classic “Orbment” magic system from
previous titles – allowing for greater access to abilities and
quicker customization.
