NIS America, the publisher that brings Falcom's Trails and Ys games West, has announced that this week will play host to "announcements, activities, sweepstakes, and more" from the Japanese developer. It kicked things off earlier today by confirming a release date for Trails to Azure, and revealing that Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is being ported to PS5.
Given that we're still waiting on more news regarding Trails into Reverie and The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails — both aiming for a Western launch in 2023 — there could be reason for Trails fans to get excited. Kuro no Kiseki, though? We think it's probably a bit too early for any concrete news on a localisation.
Anyway, you can keep up with all of the news through NISA's official social media channels, or you can visit the specially-made Falcom event page on the publisher's website. Meanwhile, for any announcements that are relevant to PlayStation, we'll be providing coverage right here on Push Square.

I know Kuro is a long shot but to be fair Zero, Azure, Nayuta and Reverie were announced pretty early too for localization. 2023 kind of feels like a major catch-up year for NISA as far as Trails goes so while I agree that it's a long shot, I could see it happening. We'll see!
It's taking them way too long to translate a game that is already fan translated when official translation is literally going to use mostly that same translation.
I've played the english patch for Zero and Azure a long time ago and I am caught up with Hajimari as well (because an english patch on PC exist). There is no point for me to buy these games anymore, they should have released them a while ago already.
Trails in the Sky trilogy for consoles pls.
@GigaGaia Obviously they’re not for you then if you’ve played them, but there are plenty of people that haven’t played them that are looking forward to them. I’m one of them.
Despite having already played Sky, I’d like them to come to modern consoles so that people don’t jump in the middle of this series.
@GigaGaia Thanks for bringing it up, I had no idea Hijamari, or whatever Cold Steel 5 had an English patch. Seems to work with the Koren official version and in the Steam Deck.
Tokyo Xanadu 2 or bust plz.
@BeerIsAwesome I would actually like that. They did say "See you in another Xanadu" at the end, implying there would be more.
brandish, gurumin and zwei on modern consoles please
Finally... we can get onto reverie and kuro.
What a humongous waste of time.
OK this is getting ridiculous. Seems like both Hajimari and Kuro have 100% fan English patches released about 6 months after the games. Only minor NPC and some books and story summaries are not translated. The patches work with the Japanese Steam versions.
We used to joke that Nintendo and Sony cannot make a proper emulator and should just license the homebrew ones but the work the Kiseki fans have done for the rest of the fans is outstanding.
@BeerIsAwesome I wonder if this would be an announcement from Aksys games instead, who published Xanadu Ex+
@AndyKazama Possible. But I think they were a different publisher to the Vita version, so it's anyone's guess there.
As I'm currently playing Sky 3rd, this is all incredibly exciting for me and I'm not worried about the wait for Reverie and Kuro. I am extremely grateful that these games are being localised at all and will be buying all of them to support future releases. Same goes for Ys!
