NIS America will re-release excellent JRPGs Trails of Cold Steel 3 and Trails of Cold Steel 4 as a PS5 duology in 'early 2024'. The two games are currently available separately on PS4, but the publisher now has a history of porting Falcom titles to Sony's current-gen console. Ys 8 and Ys 9 are two such examples.
The bundle, which is officially titled Trails of Cold Steel 3 / Trails of Cold Steel 4, will feature enhanced "high definition" visuals, and it'll include all of the cosmetic DLC for both Cold Steel 3 and Cold Steel 4. To clarify, the DLC packs consist of alternate costumes and accessories for loads of different characters.
There's no word on whether your save data from the PS4 games will carry over, however — and these are big RPGs, with each game offering roughly 100 hours of content.
Think you'll be returning to Erebonia next year? Be sure to join up with the rest of Class VII in the comments section below.

MF they got me. I’ve already bought deluxe editions of 3 and 4 on PSN but now I will have to get this. I wonder if I can refund them seeing as I never downloaded them yet…
@Mauzuri it's not
Trails through Daybreak announced for Summer 2024
I wonder what the improvements are. They were already perfectly fine in my opinion. But I can afford to support my favorite developer, so that's what I'm gonna do.
Cool I guess for people who didn't get the PS4 versions.
But guessing otherwise its the usual rip-off from NISA. No upgrade. No actual improvement or anything to really justify the new version. (And no. including costumes really don't justify it lol)
I brought 1 and 2 and was waiting for a sales on 3 & 4, this could be just what I need! Probably won't even get stuck into 1 until later this year though but I am looking forward to it!
Good thing I understand how Japanese publishers work and how they like to double dip on the fan base.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting a double pack bundle type of thing. I was assuming they would've done two separate releases. I held off and it paid off.
I honestly know nothing about these but they seem to have a good rep.
Is there a ps5 bundle of the first two to get started on?
@feral1975 There isn't a PS5 bundle of the first two games unfortunately, the best you can do is play both on PS4. I believe I read somewhere that the first two had a different publisher (Xseed Games) and they are not known for releasing remasters.
@extragood
Ah, good advice. Thanks for that.
Might just grab the first two on the PlayStation store sale, then. Not that I'm a fan of buying digital games.
Cheers.
Cool though when I rebuy them (I have Cold Steel 1-4 for PS4 ) it will be for Steam Deck.
@McBurn probably true 4k framerate fixes and some lightning changes
@Drago201: Sick! I'd love to see LIGHTNING changes^^
@McBurn lol I meant lighting changes friggin spellcheck
@Drago201: I know, just found it to be funny xD
No point.
I did get 1 and 2 for the ps4 (previously had them for ps3) but that was the knowledge that ps4 games would work on ps5.
So getting 3 and 4 was a a no brainer.
But its the same engine. There's no advantage for.me buying 3.and 4 for the ps5 except to do the trophies again. That's it.
Money grabbing disapointment
Where is the 1 & 2 bundle?
Too bad there is no part 1-2 release. Either buy it for $$ second hand or get them digital on PS4.
