Nihon Falcom Plans Trails Horizon Conclusion and New Ys Title

In a recent interview with Weekly Famitsu, Nihon Falcom President Toshihiro Kondo confirmed that the concluding chapter for Trails beyond the Horizon is currently in planning. The studio aims to finish the series due to the extended wait time, though development order relative to a potential remake of Trails in the Sky the 3rd remains undecided. Additionally, work has begun on the next entry in the Ys franchise, although it will not launch by the series’ 40th anniversary. Kondo also noted that original staff members wish to see remakes of Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure.
The company continues to develop a new Dragon Slayer project alongside external partners, with no official announcement date set yet.
