Trails in the Sky

The highly acclaimed Trails series is an ensemble drama with very detailed world- and character-building that unfolds like a long-running TV drama over different titles and entries to the franchise.

Set in Liberl Kingdom, a small nation on the continent of Zemurai, the game tells the story of Estelle and Joshua who want to become Bracers, protecting civilians and maintain peace in the region – and also reveal the secret of their missing father. Throughout their journey in a world that highly relies on a new technology called “Orbal Energy” the two have to fight a variety of enemies and meet new friends while becoming the heroes they wanted to be.
