Older info:

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has rated PlayStation 5 versions of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV published by NIS America.

Both titles are currently available for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam. PlayStation 5 versions have not been announced.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Both Cold Steel III and IV run at 1800p 60fps on PS5 through backwards compatibility so I'm not really sure what these PS5 native versions will bring to the table. That being said, these Trails games should be great to play on the new PS Portal

they’re not going to let us even do a paid discount upgrade are they?

 

[StereoVsn]

Got to say that while $70 price sucks, it is for both games as a physical. Ys VIII and IX were $40 each.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Very nice for the people who might have had a hard time finding physical copies of these games, and those that just have to have every edition of their favorite games. I've been there, but these days I just bother finding one copy of a game I like on any system and move on, like I have TitS games on PSP, CS 1 & 2 on PS3, 3 & 4 & others on Switch. As long I have some version of the game I'm happy.

It's NISA so for sure they won't be doing that... Welp, I'm happy anyway with my Switch copies for Cold Steel III and IV that I have in my collection so I'll most likely pass on this one.

Do we get the upgraded PS5 version for free if you own the PS4 version?

The Publisher is NISA so that's a fat nope.

 

[Skifi28]

At least there's something positive about being 20 games behind in a series, I'll immediately play the best version when I get to it in 15 years or so.

It's NISA, so there won't be even paid upgrade path.

Might as well wait for the yet to be announced, but heavily hinted at Trails in the Sky ports/remasters for console.

The may release it in Japan, but with western localisation being owned by XSeed it's very doubtful that we will ever see it here.

Yeah, I know about the localisation issues; maybe they can struck a deal to make it happen tho? Who knows, but I'll say that I'll be day 1 if they'll ever do a western re-release on Nintendo or PlayStation systems.

I screwed up the order by recently starting with the first cold steel as my entry point in the series, now you make me wonder if I should drop it for now and wait to play in the correct order.

Hmm... maybe NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt can answer you better here since he's up-to-date on the series.

 

[Boss Mog]

if you were gonna port 3 and 4, might as well port 1 and 2 too. Doesn't really make much sense.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Why do gamers do this to themselves? Just play and enjoy the game, dude. I started with Cold Steel and you wouldn’t even know that it was an existing series.

You can play first two Cold Steel games, you won't lose anything because to that point they are basically standalone (beside the epilogue of CS2), only in the third CS game interconnections with the previous arcs start to appear.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Ahead of the launch of the Trails of Cold Steel III / Trails of Cold Steel IV native PlayStation 5 double pack later this month, publisher NIS America has listed all of the free included DLC purchasers can expect. Most of the DLC comprises cosmetics, though a few helpful item packs are also included.

Digital purchasers will automatically obtain all of this content, while physical owners will need to redeem the items from the PlayStation store.

NISA once again doesn’t even give a discounted upgrade option for owners of the PS4 version

The PlayStation 5 is becoming a jrpg beast!

 

[saintjules]

Still haven't finished the first one. I think at this point I might just cut my losses on this series.

These are just PS4 games that were playable on PS5 for years now. Is there even a PS5 JRPG that isn't also on PS4 in existence?
