Falcom will release a PlayStation 5 version of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki on July 28 in Japan for 5,800 yen at retail and 5,500 yen via download, the developer announced. Additionally, publisher Clouded Leopard Entertainment will release the PlayStation 5 version alongside a PC (Steam) version in Asia on the same day with Traditional Chinese and Korean subtitles.
The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki first launched for PlayStation 4 on September 30, 2021 in Japan and Asia. A sequel, The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN-, is due out for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this fall.
Users who already own the PlayStation 4 version of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for 110 yen (approx. $0.86). (This is the standard for PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 upgrades in Japan for certain games that are a free upgrade worldwide.) Save data from the PlayStation 4 version can also be transferred to PlayStation 5 version.
The PlayStation 5 version will ship with improvements and new features, including 4K resolution and 60 frames per second support, a high-speed mode, and more.
Ahead of the story RPG sequel The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- this fall, the first entry in the new Calvard Republic-set series The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will debut on PlayStation 5 this summer.
The PlayStation 5 version now supports 4K resolution and 60 frames per second for even more stunning visuals. The high-speed mode allows you to select your desired speed for field and command battles, and the in-game text size can be adjusted for a more comfortable gameplay experience. In addition, the game contains an archive that introduces past installments of the series as well as a glossary, so newcomers to the Trails series can jump right in.
The PlayStation 5 version also allows save data transfer from the PlayStation 4 version.
