The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon marks the thirteenth mainline entry in the long-running Trails series, continuing the sprawling, politically-charged storyline that has defined the franchise. This installment follows the events of Trails Through Daybreak II and expands the world of Zemuria with fresh locations, deeper lore, and a larger cast of characters. Known for its richly woven narrative, tactical turn-based combat, and steadfast world consistency, the Trails series blends classic JRPG storytelling with modern enhancements. This release brings the next chapter of emotional arcs and strategic battles to consoles and PC alike. The game is expected to continue engaging fans with character development, nuanced diplomacy, and sprawling quests that reward exploration and thoughtful decision-making.
