NIS America and Nihon Falcom have announced that The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
After three years spent away from his hometown, Lloyd Bannings makes his return to follow in his late brother’s footsteps and join the Crossbell Police Department. However, upon his arrival, he discovers that he has been assigned to the Special Support Section – a new division that handles odd jobs and minor requests.
Here he will meet his new teammates, such as Elie MacDowell, the granddaughter of the city’s mayor; Randy Orlando, a womanising ex-soldier; and Tio Plato, a young tech genius. With them at your side, you must explore the streets of Crossbell City to uncover the criminal corruption and the stories that lie behind the prosperous city-state’s otherwise shining facade.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Welcome to Crossbell: An exciting story arc in the Trails universe is about to begin in this iconic city-state! Experience a rich and refreshing game world that is teeming with secrets and adventures.
- A Scenic City: With enhanced visuals and HD textures, the city-state of Crossbell has never looked better. The new consoles can support up to 120 frames per second and even up to 4k resolution! Switch between original and upscaled textures.
- Your City, Your Story: High-Speed Mode lets you cruise through the city at your preferred pace. Blaze through battles or savor the story—you decide! Nintendo Switch 2 features mouse support, too!
The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero will release at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in 2026.
