The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a 2010 role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. The game is the fourth installment of the Trails series, itself a part of the larger The Legend of Heroes series, and follows Trails in the Sky the 3rd (2007). Trails from Zero and its 2011 sequel, Trails to Azure, form the Crossbell arc of the series. The game takes place in Crossbell, a city-state located between two great powers fighting for control over it, and follows Lloyd Bannings and his colleagues Elie MacDowell, Randy Orlando, and Tio Plato. The four form the Special Support Section, a newly formed department of the Crossbell police. Trails from Zero was first released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable before being ported to Windows for release in China in 2011. An enhanced port featuring improved visuals and additional voice acting was released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan as Zero no Kiseki: Evolution in 2012. The game received an English fan translation in 2020, which NIS America used as a base for an official version that was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows in September 2022, with ports to the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 set for release on September 10, 2026.
