Falcom has quietly pulled back the curtain on the next step in one of its most beloved RPG sagas. Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is officially on the way, with a worldwide release planned for Fall 2026 across PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC.

For long-time fans, the announcement carries real weight. The original Trails in the Sky laid the foundation for what would become the sprawling Trails series, known for its meticulous worldbuilding, slow-burn storytelling, and characters that evolve over the course of entire arcs rather than single games. The second chapter isn’t just a sequel in name it’s where many players feel the story truly finds its voice.

Falcom hasn’t shared much in the way of concrete details yet, but the promise of a global launch across modern platforms already feels significant. Historically, Trails releases often arrived in staggered waves between Japan and the rest of the world, sometimes years apart. A synchronized worldwide window suggests a growing confidence in the series’ international audience, which has steadily expanded over the past decade.

Narratively, 2nd Chapter continues directly from the emotional and political threads left hanging at the end of the first game. Relationships deepen, tensions escalate, and the stakes grow beyond the relatively grounded beginnings of the original adventure. For players new to the series, it’s the point where the Trails formula interconnected stories, returning characters, and long-term payoff becomes impossible to ignore.

While Falcom hasn’t confirmed visual upgrades or gameplay changes, expectations are naturally high. Whether it’s enhanced character portraits, refined combat pacing, or quality-of-life improvements for modern systems, fans are hoping this release will make one of the series’ most important entries more accessible than ever.

There’s still plenty of time before Fall 2026 arrives, and Falcom is known for revealing information gradually. For now, though, the announcement alone is enough to spark excitement. Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter isn’t just another RPG on the calendar it’s a return to a story that helped define Falcom’s legacy, now poised to reach a wider audience than ever before.
