It was back in 2021 that we first heard about developer Nihon Falcom's plans to bring 2012's Japan-only action RPG The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails to Switch, and we have today found out that the game will be officially heading our way on 19th September.
There is a fresh story trailer for the game (found above) which itself is a spin-off from Falcom's 'Trials' series. That's right, alongside the localisation of Trails to Azure back in March and the planned release of Trails into Reverie in July, this game will be the third in the series that we get in the course of this year — pretty good going if you ask us.
Published by NIS America, Boundless Trails marks something of a departure from the rest of the series, containing no overlapping characters from the previous games, nor any mention of the continent of Zemuria. This one also adopts an action RPG style, so you can expect differences in the gameplay to what the series has shown before.
If the above story trailer has you interested, check out the following summary and screenshots from the publishers for a little more information.
Dive into adventure and join young Nayuta as he realises his dream of exploring beyond the horizon of his island home. After a fateful encounter with a fairy-like creature named Noi, he and his friend Cygna find themselves whisked away on an adventure through multiple worlds...what does the future hold for Nayuta?
A limited edition physical version of the game is still available to pre-order from the official NISA online store.
Are you excited for this September release? Let us know in the comments.

The generic swordsman again? Why are they so keen on male protag only
Actually looking forward to this one. Being an Ys fan, the game looks more up my alley, and I don't need to worry about having played ten other hundred-hour JRPGs prior.
Feels like one of these is released every 3 months
Is this an RPG with towns and so? Or is it more a dungeon crawler like Ys Origins?
I didn't quite like Origins because of this, the whole game was just exploring a tower...
Got it preoredered because I am assuming the print run is low. But won't get to it for a year or so yet.
Sooo we can play this whenever then?
make sure you get the physical copies fast as soon as they are released they do not last long on shelves before they are out of stock..
Danget ! Wished I hadn't watched that trailer
@ComfyAko Literally the first 3 Trails games had a female protagonist.
Man I wish we could start from the beginning with the Trails series on the Switch.
@Baker1000 That would be the dream if they can keep that up. Localization is notably behind on LoH games.
@ComfyAko Play Trails in the Sky.
Looks like Ys 7/Memories of Celceta with a jump button. I'm all over this! Hopefully soon we'll hear about western release dates for Kuro no Kiseki and/or Ys X!
@ComfyAko What are you talking about? The Sky Trilogy the first games in the Trails series all had female protag's.
Hoping the switch version of this turns out well.
Trails from Zero was an amazing switch port and Azure was great throughout the majority of it but for some reason i ended up encountering a bunch of technical and/or performance issues during the games closing hours.
This will close up my Switch catalogue. How do you say it? Backlog? Yeah this game will be my last Switch game.
@maxs05 ...sure we'll go with that.
