The game Trails Beyond the Horizon first became available in Japan on PlayStation in 2024, followed by a PC release there earlier this year. However, its release in the rest of the world was delayed by over a year. This kind of delay isn’t unusual for the Trails series—the previous game, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II, released in Japan in 2022 but didn’t come to other regions until 2025.

NIS America has announced it will be available worldwide on January 15th, 2026, and will launch on both Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2, making it accessible to many players.

Cameron noted this parallels his own life, as he was writing the scripts for The Way of Water and Fire and Ash around ten years ago while his own children were teenagers.
