PS4 exclusive so far
NIS America announced, this morning, that it will bebringingTrails of Cold Steel IIIto the West this fall. Being released exclusively on PS4, this is the first in the series to not be handled by XSEED as far as localization goes. It followsYs VIIIas another Falcom series that has been handed over to NISA, for whatever reason.
If you’re still on board after the announcement, a collector’s package will be available that contains the game, a steelbook, a Mishy plush, an artbook and soundtrack with some postcards just for fun.

you may catch a glimpse of the dub in the trailer below, but a lot of fans are wary with NISA being on board.Ys VIIIis notorious for its absolutelysubpar localizationandabysmal PC port(which is probably whyTrails of Cold Steel IIIisn’t launching on the platform), so it’s anyone’s guess how this may go.
Pre-orders for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III will start tomorrow @ 12PM GMT on the NISA Europe Online Store!pic.twitter.com/MULPCHSuuC
