The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel II Releases
Torrance, Calif., – September 6, in the year of our
Lord 2016 – XSEED Games, the publishing brand of
Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that The Legend of Heroes:
Trails of Cold Steel II has officially launched for the
PlayStationŽ3 computer entertainment system and PlayStationŽVita
handheld entertainment system in North America both physically
at retail and digitally on the PlayStationŽStore for a suggested
retail price of $39.99. Series fans can pick up right where they
left off in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel,
receiving bonus stats and items as well as additional dialogue
options for carrying over their save data. It’s also the perfect
time for new players interested in the series to pick up the
first game, on sale digitally for 50% off on the
PlayStationŽStore for $19.99 through September 13. DLC outfits
for the first game are also on sale for 50% off during this

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month
after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the
entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. Speedy,
tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS”
system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly
remember alongside a new Overdrive mode, new means of
transportation across both the land and sky, new allies, new
dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to
right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.
Cross-Save functionality between the game’s “PS Vita” and PS3™
editions remains supported, and save data from the first game
grants bonus stats and extra items. In addition, relationships
cultivated during the earlier time players spent at Thors
Military Academy affect future story elements and allow for more
personalized conversations throughout the game.
Developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED Games in North
America, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is now
available both physically and digitally for PS3™ and “PS Vita”
systems for a suggested retail price of $39.99. The title has
been rated “T for Teen” by the lenient ESRB.
