Remember when we had to wait years for news of a localised Trails game? Those days are almost behind us, as The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II will be launching on Switch on 14th February 2025.
Wow, February is getting pretty packed already, isn't it? Plus, that's just eight months after the previous game in the series, Trails Through Daybreak, which means we'll soon only be one title behind Japan's release schedule.
As the 12th title in the wider Trails series and the second game in the Calvard arc, Trails Through Daybreak II continues the story of the spriggan Van and his friends. And while the previous game felt like a largely stand-alone story, it seems that many more returning faces from other Trails arcs will be present in Daybreak II. The release date trailer below shows us some of those faces.
After the events of the first Daybreak, Calvard has largely returned to normal, but a string of murders that involve crimson-coloured beasts disrupts this new-found order. Van is dragged into the investigation by an unexpected visitor, and he has to find out who is behind the murders and what their motive is.
This series has been on a bit of a roll recently, and we were big fans of Trails through Daybreak on Switch, even with some quirks. Let's hope the sequel lives up to our lofty expectations. And, don't forget, 2025 will be giving us yet another Trails game, as Trails in the Sky the 1st — a remake of the very first Trails game, originally on CP and PSP — is also coming to the hybrid console.
Will you be grabbing Daybreak II among a crowded month of February releases? Break the day in the comments below.

Looking good, but first comes Trails in the Sky remake lol.
And before that, Ys X Nordics, of course.
If I ever decide to start playing Trials games those will be the only games I ever play again
Still better than these months which are even more crowded and regardless, happy to hear this now has a release date outside of Japan and that it's coming relatively soon!
Looking forward to this, Daybreak 1 was pretty enjoyable though is another of a trend of games with some text that's way too small for the Switch in handheld mode.
Also took far too long wracking my brain because the article says that Trails in the Sky was originally launched on CP and PSP. Couldn't for the life of me think what console the CP was, feel somewhat sheepish realising it's just a typo for PC.
i hear that daybreak 1 was better on switch than cold steel 3-4 and reverie since i think it was in-house, curious to see how daybreak 2 turns out, i imagine when kai makes its way west we will be on the switch successor.
Brownie points for "About Spriggan Time". XD Looking forward to getting into this series eventually, if how much I enjoy the Ys series is any indication.
@ScalenePowers They look good and I've heard pretty much nothing but good things! They are also a combined several hundred hours of game time, and my backlog is already full.
At this point, I'm skeptical about every 2025 Switch game...I halfway expect every one of them to have a "Switch 2" version in development...thus, I'm not preordering anything in 2025 just yet.
Welp, so much for Yakuza: Like A Pirate. Trails gets the priority for me.
@Bizzyb Its been on preorder for a while from nis america. It is definitely coming to Switch. I loved cold steel but can't seem to get into Daybreak. I'm also not a fan of the more edgy (adult oriented) content that was added. I think the game would have been fine without it.
What else is coming February that makes it crowded? I only know of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
