Nihon Falcom has released a new trailer for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter that focuses on the game’s combat features, giving both newcomers and long-time fans a closer look at the systems that define battles in the Liberl Kingdom.
The video breaks down the core mechanics that players will use throughout their journey. It highlights the balance between real-time positioning and turn-based actions, showing how movement across the battlefield can create an advantage when setting up attacks.
The trailer also introduces the orbment system, a device that allows characters to cast arts, magical abilities powered by quartz.
In addition to the arts, the footage showcases crafts, each character’s unique combat skills, and their stronger S-Break variants that can interrupt the flow of battle when triggered. Players can also finish combinations with Brave Attacks, designed to maximize damage and secure a faster victory against tougher opponents.
The trailer serves as both an introduction for new players discovering the series for the first time and a refresher for those revisiting one of Falcom’s most well-known RPGs.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on September 19, 2025.
