Nihon Falcom will release a sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon (Kai no Kiseki: Farewell, O Zemuria) during its fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. The Japanese developer said so in its annual earnings report (kessan tanshin) published on November 11, 2026. Several Japanese outlets report that Falcom’s supplementary materials describe it as the “final chapter” (kanketsu-hen) of the Kai no Kiseki story. No title, platforms or Western release date have been announced.

What Falcom announced on November 11, 2026

  • New game: the outlook section of the report says Falcom will release “a title that is the sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki -Farewell, O Zemuria-”, the latest entry in the Trails series, whose cumulative sales top 10 million units.
  • Timing: fiscal year from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. This is a fiscal-year window for Falcom’s own release (Japan, according to Gematsu), not an exact date.
  • “Final chapter”: Famitsu, 4Gamer and gamebiz report that the supplementary materials call it the final chapter of Kai no Kiseki. Falcom has not yet given a title or details.
  • Only one new game: Falcom plans just this one new game in the year, plus “several ports” and soundtrack albums, which is why it forecasts lower results.

Falcom’s numbers

  • Forecast to September 30, 2027: net sales ¥3.0 billion (−33.0%), operating profit ¥1.5 billion (−47.7%), net profit ¥1.0 billion (−50.2%).
  • Not in the plan: 4Gamer notes that no third Trails in the Sky remake appears in the report or in the next fiscal year’s release plans.
