Soar into the beginning of a new 1st Chapter! GungHo Online Entertainment America (GOEA) is thrilled to announce that a playable demo for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is now live for the PlayStation®5 and Steam, with a Nintendo Switch™ demo coming soon. Fans can now accompany Estelle and Joshua as they embark on the first steps of their journey with an early look at the game’s prologue. Details on the Nintendo Switch™ demo’s release will be shared on GOEA’s social media channels.
Join Estelle and Joshua as they set out on their path as bracers, taking on tasks across the Rolent region in their father Cassius’ absence. When strange events begin to unfold, they must travel beyond the Rolent region to rise through the ranks of the Bracer Guild and uncover the truth.
All progress made in the demo will carry over to the full game at launch. Alongside the demo, get a first look at how the young junior bracers’ paths begin with an all-new opening movie trailer.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will also be playable on the Nintendo Switch 2™ via an Upgrade Pack for $1. This upgrade includes quality-of-life enhancements such as higher resolution and smoother frame rates. Additional information will be announced at a later date.
Standard Edition pre-orders are available at major North American retailers and through Clear River Games for European residents. For updates on European pre-orders, please follow @clearrivergames on social media.
