Fans of Japanese role-playing games rejoice, for two top tier titles are heading West. Originally released on PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II made the jump to PlayStation 4 earlier this year in Japan, and now the remasters have been confirmed for release in North America and Europe in early 2019.
Both titles will apparently feature dual audio, allowing you to switch between the Japanese and English dubs whenever you like.
We assume this means that Trails of Cold Steel III, which hit Japan last year, is also on the cards for a Western release. Meanwhile, Trails of Cold Steel IV -- supposedly the series' final instalment, launched just a few days ago in Japan.
Are you excited to get stuck into these lengthy RPGs? Show us your steel in the comments section below.

fantastic games, day one buy for me.
Early 2019 is getting pretty crazy.
I’ve played through some of the first game on Vita and own the second. I probably won’t double dip for the PS4 releases, but despite my inability to compete them yet, I do think there is a legitimate market for them on PS4 in the wake of Persona 5’s popularity and I can vouch for the series’s quality. I didn’t know that ToCS 4 was already out! Now I’m really behind!
Gimme 3 already goddaaaammmiiittttt
Those comments are evil and make me want to buy those games.
Still searching for a way to stop time so I can catch up with my game library (and also the 30 odd games that are begging to be bought on my wishlist).
Woohoo!I played the first one on the Ps3 and loved it but never did get to play the sequel as I was by that time too busy into the ps4 and my ps3 has been disconnected to make room for other things etc.
Great news indeed.
Time to see what all the fuss is about. After Resi Evil 2 of course.
I have the first two on my PS3 but if this version comes with all the DLC, than I'll buy it at some point.
YES! Day One!
I miss this on ps3 and vita, is the games good? I hope there's steelcase version for this game
@KratosMD And it seems there's steelcase version for both games, I think I'll take this day 1
I have both on vita so wont double dip. But this is great news. Hopefully the 3rd game is on the way!!
High on my list for a while but have too many other jrpgs so have put this series on the back burner.
I'd prefer switch releases though as I think they lend themselves to portable and no way they'll do 3 or 4 on Vita now
A pair of excellent games both of which I completed on the Vita in January.
Number three please.
I hear good things about it but they seem pretty generic. I’d love to learn a bit about them from a fan’s perspective.
@YousefFromKuwait The story is crazy good with some of the best storytelling and character development I've ever seen in a game. The music is Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) good if not better with not only a wide variety of tracks, but it's hard to find fault with any of them. The voice acting is also crazy good by JRPG standards. The visual style certainly won't blow you away, but it's still a very pretty looking game. Lastly the battles while turn-based have quite a few tactical elements such as movement, certain bonuses "good and bad" randomly occur in the turn order which changes depending on your actions in battle.
That said I might double dip because I hear the games will use the Steam versions voice acting patch which pretty much adds voice acting to all dialog in the game, plus the visuals are supposedly quite a bit better too.
@TowaHerschel7 ITS TURN BASED?!?!!!?!?!!! Why didn’t just say that from the beginning! SOLD!
@YousefFromKuwait Indeed it is!
