The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV For Switch Gets First Screenshots & Japanese Release Date

Today Nihon Falcom and Nippon Ichi Software released the first screenshots of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV for Nintendo Switch.

The images showcase what the game looks like on Nintendo’s portable console, and are accompanied by a release date, March 18, 2021.

For now, this release date is only related to the Japanese market. We’ll have to wait for an announcement from NIS America to know when the game will launch in the west.

The PS4 version is already available, while we’re also waiting for a PC version, which will come in 2021 alongside the Switch version.

You can check out the screenshots below.

If you’re unfamiliar with The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, here’s how NIS America describes it officially.

The Erebonian Empire is on the brink of all-out war! 

Taking place shortly after the ending of Trails of Cold Steel III, the heroes of Class VII find themselves against the full force of the Empire in an attempt to stop its path of total domination. Further, the hero of the Erebonian Civil War and Class VII’s instructor, Rean Schwarzer, has gone missing. Now, the students of Class VII, old and new, must unite with heroes from all over the continent to create the only chance the world has to be spared from total destruction.

In the meanwhile, Nihon Falcom already released in Japan next game of the franchise, titled Hajimari no Kiseki, and just announced the one coming after, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro No Kiseki.

Hopefully, we won’t have to wait a couple of centuries to get those in the west.
