Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is the next Trails game to be released for the West and was teased after the 1st game was released. For those playing the series, this game is expected to be bigger than its predecessor as new features and storylines have been added. Now, the game’s release date has been revealed and fans will be excited to get this soon next year.
No longer threatened by the mafia organization Almata, the people of Calvard have returned to their peaceful lives. But one day, a shocking series of murders involving a mysterious crimson beast sets the wheels of fate in motion once again. With chaos again looming on the horizon, the spriggan Van Arkride receives an unexpected visitor, prompting his investigation. Who is behind the murders, and what is their goal?
Legend of Heroes Trails Through Daybreak II Features
Battle System
The game builds on the seamless transition between field battles and command battles introduced in the previous game with new mechanics that can be used in both: Cross Charge & EX Chains! Mastering the use of these two combo mechanics can provide you with overwhelming firepower to use against your opponents.
- Cross Charge
- If you manage to perfectly dodge an enemy’s attack during a field battle, the Cross Charge icon will appear! Pushing the correct button while the icon is on-screen will swap in another party member, who will simultaneously execute a charge attack on your foe! As a bonus, the party member that you swap in will have enhanced attack power for a while.
- EX Chains
- EX Chains can be activated by fulfilling specific conditions during command battles. Once these conditions have been met, using a craft or normal attack against a stunned enemy will automatically activate an EX Chain! This allows party members with SCLM activated to launch a simultaneous attack that will also impact nearby enemies, dealing massive damage.
Choose Your Chapters
Van and his collaborators will not always travel together during the Trails through Daybreak II events. At times, some of the group may split off to take care of tasks in different areas of Calvard concurrently. Because of this, each act contains multiple chapters you can play in any order. Progress the story in the order you choose! Each chapter features a different cast of characters as we see their side of the act’s story play out.
Unique Missions
Certain chapters will feature missions that utilize the unique skillsets of the characters in that chapter’s party. For example, directly controlling the holo core AI, Mare, to hack the Orbal network, or using Swin to tail a suspicious individual silently.
Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II will be released on February 14, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam).
