Calling All Spriggans: The Legend of Kuro Arrives on Switch This Summer
Get ready to delve back into the criminal underworld of Calvard, because The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II, also known as Trails Through Daybreak II in the West, is finally getting a Nintendo Switch release in Japan! Mark your calendars for July 25th, 2024, explorers, as this highly anticipated sequel prepares to take the Land of Twilight by storm… on a handheld console!
Why You Should Be Hyped
For those unfamiliar with the Trails series, Kuro no Kiseki II throws you headfirst into the neon-lit streets of Calvard as Van Arkride, a spriggan who tackles any job for the right price. Whether you need a detective, a negotiator, or even a bounty hunter, Van’s your man. This sequel promises to build upon the first game’s captivating narrative, introducing new threats, unforgettable characters, and the series’ signature turn-based combat that’s both strategic and deeply satisfying.
Switch-ified for Glory
This Switch port isn’t just a straight copy-paste job. Falcom has optimized the experience for Nintendo’s hybrid console, including a much-requested High Speed Mode to streamline battles and exploration. Additionally, a comprehensive Archive feature will be at your fingertips, offering character bios, a glossary of the Trails universe, and even a recap of the first game’s events – perfect for newcomers or those needing a refresher.
Bonus Loot for Early Birds
If you snag a first-run physical copy in Japan, you’ll be treated to a special “Triple Contents Set”. This treasure trove includes a snazzy “Van’s Exclusive Mishy Suit” costume DLC, a unique “Holow Core Voice [R.A. Monitoring Target]”, and the nostalgic “The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Background Music Set” to take you on a trip down memory lane.
While the Western release date for Trails Through Daybreak II is set for July 5th, Switch players in Japan can experience the thrilling continuation of the Kuro saga a little earlier this summer. So, dust off your Switch controllers and prepare to unravel the latest mysteries of Calvard!
