The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd, Nihon Falcom's remake of Trails in the Sky SC, holds a 92 Metascore on PC from 14 reviews, a 91 on PS5 from 18, and an 85 on Switch 2 from 4. It released September 17, 2026 on PC, Switch, Switch 2, and PS5, with reviewers praising the story, combat, and revamped presentation.
The remake covers the arc after Joshua's disappearance, with Estelle moving against the secret society Ouroboros. Reviewers singled out the rebuilt visuals, music, and full voice acting as the elements that bring the story's turning points forward. Scores split by platform rather than by opinion of the game itself: the four Switch 2 reviews sit seven points below the PC average. One recurring complaint is early pacing, which Noisy Pixel called slow even while ranking the game among the best in the series.
- PC (Steam): 92 Metascore, 14 reviews
- PlayStation 5: 91 Metascore, 18 reviews
- Nintendo Switch 2: 85 Metascore, 4 reviews
