A recent leak from a Canadian retailer could potentially confirm the release date for the upcoming Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake, hitting store shelves later this year. While not as widely known by Western audiences, the Nihon Falcom-developed Trails series has a rich and storied history filled with plenty of beloved games. The Trails series has seen 13 different main-series games across its many different story arcs, including Trails of Cold Steel and the recent Trails Through Daybreak games. Now, a classic game from the franchise’s roots will soon be receiving an updated version.
Nihon Falcom first revealed Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter late last year as a remake of the game that kicked off the franchise. The original Trails in the Sky first released in 2004 and follows main character Estelle Bright in her journey to become a senior “Bracer,” ultimately becoming involved in a plot to overthrow the monarchy of Liberl. The game would become a cult classic, with many fans hailing Estelle as one of the best protagonists in the JRPG genre. A new leak is now giving an idea of when fans will get a chance to experience Estelle’s journey all over again.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Release Date Leaked
As reported by PushSquare, a recent leak from a Canadian retailer may have given away the release date for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. A listing from Canadian retailer VGP shows a release date of September 25, 2025 for the Trails in the Sky remake on the game’s pre-order page through VGP’s official website. The retailer even shared the September release window on its social media accounts, suggesting the September 25 release date is likely correct. Nihon Falcom has not made an official announcement about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter‘s precise release date.
A September release for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter would largely line up with the developer’s previous launch windows. Both of Nihon Falcom’s Trails through Daybreak games received their official Japanese release in September, with the previous Trails into Reverie launching close behind in August. The remake’s official debut would also come just over one year after its official announcement, first being revealed during a Nintendo Direct in August 2024.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will give fans a new way to experience the game that kicked off the long-running RPG franchise. Nihon Falcom has promised plenty of upgrades with the remake of the beloved JRPG, including the option to play with either traditional turn-based combat or real-time action RPG combat. The remake also features brand-new voiceovers for both the Japanese and English audio. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter looks to bring a JRPG classic back to life with a bold new look.
