The final game in the 22-year-old JRPG series Trails will be announced in 2031 and released the following year, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo has announced.

For the latest print issue of Weekly Famitsu (via Gematsu), Kondo reveals some key details about the future of the Trails series, including the fact that its narrative conclusion has already been decided. He also says the theme song for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, the remake of the second game in the series, is already finished just months after Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter's launch, and the plot for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon 2 is already written just weeks after Horizon 1 released.

Hell of a run for this series.
 
It is impressive that Trials is 22 years old, and will release its final game in 2032.

I hope the final Trials game will be good.
 
@cm2 no comment?
Still a long ways away before The finale lol Things could change too before then. I just hope Van's (and Agnes' PLOT lol) ending will be a good one in the final game after all that cliffhanger pull in Beyond the horizon

Think some actual people will die in this series?
 
So apparently kondo's plan changes again. read from pushsquare:

The next game in Falcom's long running Trails series will be a sequel to Trails beyond the Horizon.

The developer confirmed this in its annual financial report, putting to rest mass speculation from fans of the franchise.

First released in 2024 in Japan, Trails beyond the Horizon features world-shifting story revelations and ends on one hell of a cliffhanger. Its sequel should, finally, have all of the answers — and it's set to launch before the end of September 2027.

The wait hasn't been quite so bad for western players, as Horizon was localised back in January of this year.

However, it should be noted that Falcom's report only refers to the sequel's Japanese release.

It'll be up to western publisher NIS America to work out whether a global launch is feasible, but I'd be shocked if it's not on the cards, because this is the first time in history that the west is actually fully caught up on the series.

Of course, this also means that Falcom is stepping back from its remakes for the time being. After the huge success of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, there was a suggestion that the studio would simply follow the money, and go straight into remaking Trails in the Sky the 3rd.

But it's no secret that the developer is ramping up towards the end of Trails as a whole — and so it's prioritising the next step in the franchise's current saga.

Falcom says that Horizon's sequel is the only major title it has in the works for 2027. As such, it's highly likely that its next remake will be targeting a 2028 release.

With all of this in mind, we should be getting our first look at Horizon's sequel in the coming months.
