It's been a long time since we first heard about the two Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel games coming to PlayStation 3 and Vita, but we've finally been given a bit more to look at with the upcoming sequel, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II Trophies. Today, as developer XSEED celebrates the five-year anniversary of their first Western release, those screens are up for grabs.
Showing off both battle and NPC events, the incoming screens for Trails of Cold Steel II give us a lot, including the progression of their latest English localization attempts. For any of those who loved the first game, of which a few of my friends certainly did, this will be just enough to whet your appetite.
For those who need a refresher on what this game will play like, we've got information straight from the developer.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. The speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly remember together with a new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation both across the land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray. Cross-Save functionality between the game’s “PSVita” and PS3™ editions returns, and clear data from the first game grants bonus stats and extra items, while also remembering the many relationships cultivated during the earlier time spent at Thors Military Academy to allow for more personalized conversations throughout the story.
Although no firm release date has been confirmed, Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II will be released this fall for PlayStation 3 and Vita consoles. The first game, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Trophies, is already available for purchase.
