'The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III' (ALL) Comes To PC In March, Extras On PC And Switch - Trailer

When it seems as if peace has finally settled over the empire of Erebonia, the embers of war stir anew just a mere year-and-a-half later in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III.

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 will be coming to PC (GOG and Steam) on March 23, 2020, with 26 cosmetic items free at launch, while the Nintendo Switch version also contains 26 free cosmetic items in-game, including Rean's Unspeakable Costume and Juna's Lloyd Bannging Costume.

Key Features:

  • Welcome to the New Class VII – Explore the newly annexed lands of the Empire with a brand new squad, and catch up with familiar faces from the past.
  • An Immersive Story – Experience an epic story developed across three titles, and crafted for new and old fans alike. Also includes an interactive introduction to catch up new players to the ongoing story so anyone can dive right in to the world of Trails of Cold Steel.
  • Combat Honed to a Fine Edge – Challenge oncoming threats with a combat system that has been refined over the course of decades. The addition of features like Brave Order and the Break System opens up new possibilities in battle.
  • Blazing New Trails – The PC version provides a number of new exclusive features, such as frame rate support up to 240/unlimited FPS, auto-save, customizable high-speed mode and key bindings, and ultrawide screen support that lay the foundation for an amazing adventure.

Currently available on PS4, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III is coming to PC on March 23, 2020, and Nintendo Switch in Spring 2020.
