What is The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon?
The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon sees the return of Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions team. This time, the future of the entire Zemurian continent hangs in the balance as humanity prepares for its first foray into space.
A sudden invitation from Marduk for a high-tech training exercise sends Van, along with Ashen Chevalier, Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham, on a collision course with deep-seated secrets within Zemuria. While their paths may diverge, the central mystery remains: what truly lies beyond the edge of the horizon?
Highlighted Game Features from NIS America:
- All Trails Lead Here: Paths from across Zemuria intertwine with higher stakes than ever before as the Trails series enters its final chapter!
- Gameplay, Evolved: New gameplay mechanics such as Shard Commands, Awakening, and the time-freezing Z.O.C. give you an unprecedented amount of options in both Field and Command Battles!
- Dream Teams: Gather allies from all over Calvard and beyond and put a stop to Ouroboros’ machinations in the Grim Garten, a dungeon that you can take on with your own custom party!
