NIS America is all set to launch The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II on consoles, hitting shelves on February 14, 2025. Make sure you don’t miss it!
The residents of Calvard, having shaken off the mafia organization Almata, have once again found solace in calm, everyday life. However, this tranquility is shattered by a string of murders linked to an enigmatic crimson beast, stirring the winds of fate all over again. Various factions leap into action—some chasing the truth from within the boundaries of the law, and others seizing any opportunity for their own gains, no matter how wicked.
As disorder looms yet again, spriggan Van Arkride finds himself prompted into action by an unforeseen visitor. Who is orchestrating these murders, and what do they seek? The unfolding tale drags both familiar and unfamiliar faces into this exciting second chapter of the Trails Through Daybreak saga.
### The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II Features
#### Battle System
This new installment builds on the effortless transition between field and command battles introduced earlier, adding fresh mechanics: Cross Charge and EX Chains! Master these combos for a devastating edge over enemies.
#### Cross Charge
In a field battle, if you execute a Perfect Dodge, the Cross Charge icon will appear. Hit the right button while it’s visible, and you can swap another party member in, who will immediately launch a charge attack against the enemy. Plus, the swapped member gains boosted attack power briefly.
#### EX Chains
Activate EX Chains by meeting specific criteria in command battles. Once triggered, hitting a stunned enemy with a craft or regular attack automatically ignites an EX Chain. This combo allows team members who are SCLM activated to simultaneously strike, impacting nearby foes with considerable damage.
#### Choose Your Chapters
Throughout Trails Through Daybreak II, Van and his comrades may venture separately across Calvard, handling different tasks. This dynamic leads to several chapters that you can explore in any sequence you wish. Experience the story in your chosen order, with each chapter showcasing a unique lineup of characters and perspectives on the unfolding events.
After wrapping up a chapter, the next automatically begins to weave in seamlessly.
#### Unique Missions
Some chapters introduce missions that highlight the particular skills of the characters in that storyline. You might directly control the AI Mare to hack the orbal network or guide Swin in trailing a suspect stealthily.
