While NIS America isn’t hosting an E3 2019 conference, they definitely don’t want to miss out on all the fun. As such, they’ve just announced that Trails of Cold Steel III will release in North America on September 24th, 2019.
In addition to this, they’ve also announced that those who pre-order the game (or pick it up early) will score the Trails of Cold Steel III Early Enrollment Edition. Included in this special edition is a copy of the game, 5-track physical soundtrack, and a softcover artbook with a reversible cover. This is now available on Amazon, Bestbuy, and Gamestop.
Details of the game below:
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. This renowned title has also now been developed natively for PlayStation 4 hardware, a series first.
