Nearly a year and a half has passed since the Erebonian civil war, and much has changed since then. From the shifting stances of countries to the internal politics of the Empire, and even the life of Rean Schwarzer, the shadows of the past have given way to the embers of a new chapter. Now graduated from Thors Military Academy, Rean has become an instructor at the Thors Branch Campus, a newly-opened academy that quickly finds itself thrust onto the national stage. It is here that he takes the lead of a brand new Class VII, and must guide a new generation of heroes into an unknown future. Though all is calm now, the nefarious Ouroboros organization continues to weave a dark plot that could engulf the entire continent in war...or perhaps something even more sinister.

Trails of Cold Steel III invites players into a world full of intrigue and excitement that is years in the making. They will embark on a whirlwind tour through the never-before-seen lands of the recently expanded Erebonian countryside, and encounter fresh faces as well as old friends familiar to fans of the series. In true Trails fashion, the deep, engaging story pairs with an incredible cast of characters and a combat system refined over decades of innovative RPG worldbuilding.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has also now been developed natively for PS4 hardware, a series first.

Meet the new Class VII in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, as a new chapter has started, with new faces entering the fray. Rean Schwarzer must join forces with the next generation of students at Thors Military Academy and prepare them (as well as himself) for the unseen threats that loom ahead. Do these fresh-faced heroes-in-training have what it takes to lead Erebonia towards a bright future?
