Publisher NIS America during the New Game+ Expo live stream announced The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV will launch for the PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe on October 27, and in Australia and New Zealand on November 3. It will launch in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and GOG.
Here is an overview of the game:
The Erebonian Empire is on the brink of all out war! Taking place shortly after the ending of Trails of Cold Steel III, the heroes of Class VII find themselves against the full force of the Empire in an attempt to stop its path of total domination. Further, the hero of the Erebonian Civil War and Class VII’s instructor, Rean Schwarzer, has gone missing. Now, the students of Class VII, old and new, must unite with heroes from all over the continent to create the only chance the world has to be spared from total destruction.
Key Features:
- The Ultimate Class Reunion – Boasting the largest roster in series history, heroes from all over seek to join the cause! The heroes of Class VII unite with Crossbell’s Special Support Section and even the heroes of Liberl.
- Battle Most Refined – New and returning systems join the already polished combat of The Legend of Heroes series, including the ability to summon giant mechs to the field for devastating attacks, use Auto Battle for more expedient combat, and utilize Lost Arts, the most powerful Orbal magic capable of turning the tide of battle.
- Pursuits of the War Weary – In between epic battles, catch a breather with a number of mini-games including returning favorites like Vantage Master, fishing and puzzle games! And introducing new pursuits like Poker, Blackjack, and the Horror Coaster.

I can't wait man, hopefully they don't push back the release date. I'd have to replay all three games again!! So much hype!
Day one, already got the LE pre ordered through NIS store.
Can't wait to play this, day 1 buy for me. Finally get to finish this story arc.
A game series which is very underrated imo. Sure the graphics pretty much hurt your eyes (especially the remasters, but the characterbuilding and strategic combat are among the best Jrpg's out there. Also for a JRPG it has a pretty unique story.
Forgot to add I can't wait for this. That last cliffhanger was killer. Also this is one of the many series not making it's way to Xbox and something MS really needs to work on. To many third party devs simply ignoring their system.
