The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is out today for the PlayStation 4 both digitally, and physically in selected retailers, within Europe and Australia. Also, a physical Limited Edition, known as the Decisive Edition, is also available exclusively from the Marvelous Games Store.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel gives players the chance to follow the activities of Thors Military Academy’s specialized “Class VII” on the PlayStation 4. This new console release boasts additional features not found in the previous console releases including improved visuals. This version will include the option for dual voice-overs for the first time in the series’ history on console, allowing players to enjoy either the original Japanese voices or the critically-acclaimed English voices for each of the games’ myriad characters.

Other new features designed for returning players include a turbo mode option that speeds up the adventure and 5,000+ additional English audio lines that were previously available only in the PC version of the game. This is alongside all of the downloadable content previously released for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita pre-bundled. Additionally PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners will be able to transfer their save game data to this PlayStation 4 version of the game.

The Story:

Among the nations on the Zemurian continent, the mighty Erebonian Empire has been quick to outwardly stake its claim militarily; yet politically, ugly bouts of internal conflict between the upper class and commoners attempting to rise to power have been steadily intensifying day by day. The Noble and Reformist Factions have been none too kind to each other over the years, and tensions between the two only stand to worsen if compromises are not made in the very near future.

Rean Schwarzer, like any other citizen of the Imperial North, is no stranger to these rising conflicts – the class system has been deeply embedded into the hearts of every Erebonian since the days of old. However, as a 17-year-old student preparing for his new life at Thors Military Academy, he notices that his crimson uniform differs from the standard outfits issued to his peers – typically green for commoners and white for nobles.

Enter Class VII of Thors Military Academy. For the first time in the prestigious academy’s history, rank means nothing and skill means everything. With nine handpicked students of various backgrounds alongside Rean, Class VII readies itself to dive deep into the political quagmire that threatens not only them, but the Empire as a whole.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is out now both digitally and physically for the PlayStation 4, with a standard physical version available at selected retailers across Europe. The physical limited edition, known as the Decisive Edition, is also available exclusively from the Marvelous Games store. If you don’t fancy that though, the standard edition can be found here!
