Publisher NIS America has just confirmed that the latest Trails title, Trails beyond the Horizon, has been delayed into next year.

Previously, the RPG was set for an autumn / fall launch here in the west — having already had its Japanese release back in 2024. The title will now target January 2026 on all platforms, including PS5 and PS4.

It’s a real shame, because as alluded, this is the newest Trails game, and so the west was finally going to be caught up with the series. That dream’s going to have to wait a little longer to come true.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Let’s not forget that Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter — a full remake of the original adventure — is locked in for the 19th September.

We wouldn’t be at all surprised if 1st Chapter’s launch has convinced NISA to push Horizon back. After all, having two meaty Trails releases drop within the space of a few months might be considered overkill. These are long games, after all.

Are you disappointed by this news? Or does the delay make total sense? Tell Van to get back in his truck in the comments section below.
