Hey everyone! Great news for fans of classic JRPGs: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is heading to the Switch 2! Along with the previously announced versions, this is awesome. And there's more: a "Prologue" demo is already available for PS5, Switch (Japan-only for now), and PC via Steam. How cool is that?

So, what's the deal with the Switch 2 version? Well, it's going to be digital-only worldwide, which might bum some physical copy collectors out there. But hey, the good news is it will boast a higher resolution, a smoother frame rate, and those sweet, sweet faster loading times we all crave.

If you already own the Switch version, either physical or digital, you're in luck! You can upgrade to the Switch 2 version by grabbing the "Upgrade Pack" for just $1.00. That's a steal! Just remember, you need both the original Switch version AND the Upgrade Pack to play on Switch 2.

What's in the Demo?

The demo lets you dive into the Prologue of the story. You get to experience the beginning of Estelle and Joshua's journey as bracers. Save data carries over to the full game! Jump into this trial version and immerse yourself in the beginning of this unforgettable adventure!

In the demo you will:

  • Start training to become a senior bracer in the Liberl Kingdom.
  • Travel through the Rolent region.
  • Play as Estelle, Joshua, and Scherazard.
  • The demo will culminate in an exhilarating boss fight.
  • Immerse yourself in a meticulously crafted world.
  • Fight your way through the first four dungeons.
  • Complete the first seven main events and eight optional sub quests.
  • Encounter NPCs with unique dialogue and additional quests.
  • Command intuitive, fast-paced battles.
  • Switch between real-time and turn-based combat to seamlessly fight foes.
  • Unlock chain and follow-up attacks

The full game, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, is set to launch on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam. I'm pretty hyped to see how this classic holds up on modern hardware!
