Trails of the World sequel planned for Falcom's 2027 fiscal year
Nihon Falcom says the next Trails of the World game is planned for the fiscal year ending September 2027, but has not announced a date or platforms.
Nihon Falcom has confirmed that a sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Trails of the World -Farewell, O Zemuria- is in development, with the company targeting the fiscal year ending in September 2027. The news appears in Falcom's supplementary results materials for the year ended September 2026.1
That is a meaningful update for fans of the long-running Trails role-playing game series, but it is not a conventional launch announcement. Falcom has given a financial-year window rather than a specific release date, and the disclosure does not name platforms, pricing or a final English title for the sequel.1
The same materials also point to multiple ports and another new title in development, suggesting Falcom's current pipeline extends well beyond this one sequel. The sequel is nevertheless the clearest story beat for players following the Zemuria arc: the company says it is intended to bring that story to a conclusion.1
Falcom's official game catalogue identifies The Legend of Heroes: Trails of the World -Farewell, O Zemuria- as a 2024 PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 release.2 The company uses a different English rendering of the title in its English-facing materials, so readers may also see the game referred to as Trails through Daybreak II in international coverage. The sequel's exact relationship to regional naming and localisation remains unconfirmed.
For now, the safe takeaway is that Falcom is planning the next chapter, not that the game is arriving in 2027 on a fixed date. We will need a proper announcement before treating the fiscal-year target as a launch commitment.
Our opinion
This is the sort of announcement that rewards careful wording. A sequel window is useful news, especially when Falcom says it is designed to conclude the story, but the lack of platforms and a dated launch means there is no reason to inflate it into a full reveal. The strongest angle is the confirmed direction of the series: the next game exists, its broad timing is known, and the details fans will actually want are still to come.
