Play JRPG Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III today with the PS4 demo

We’ve brought The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III all around the world, starting from the first English build at MCM London Comic Con to being playable at Gamescom in Germany, E3 and Anime Expo in California, Japan Expo in France, and PAX West in Washington.

Finally, we’re excited to finally bring the highly-anticipated demo right to your home!

Available today on PlayStation Store, this demo contains the entire prologue and carries over save data to the full game.

In Trails of Cold Steel III, you play as Rean Schwarzer, a graduate from Thors Military Academy who’s starting his new life as an instructor at the academy’s branch campus.

The setting

Heralded as a war hero, he and his peers of the renowned Class VII played a pivotal role in the empire’s civil war a few years prior. Now, the peace is disturbed once again and Rean must lead his students — the new generation of Class VII — through this darkness to find a brighter future.

From left to right: The new Class VII consists of Juna Crawford, Altina Orion, and Kurt Vander.

The franchise backstory

The demo also contains an in-game library with information on the previous two installments, along with character bios and other terminology — perfect for both a veteran’s refresher or a beginner’s first look. So anyone can jump into Trails of Cold Steel III with confidence and without missing a beat!

What’s new in the sequel

Aside from familiar mechanics like fishing, new features are brought to the table such as the Vantage Masters mini-game. The combat system has also been improved, thanks to the addition of Brave Orders and the Break System.

Brave Orders provide party-wide buffs to give an upper hand for a certain number of turns, and are specific to each character.

The Break System is shown as a blue bar underneath the enemy’s health. Damaging the enemies will decrease their Break meter until it’s depleted to zero, to which they become “Broken.”

A “Broken” enemy drops its items, is more susceptible to damage, has their buffs canceled, and is unbalanced by all attacks and crafts!

Now that you’ve got the rundown, download the demo today and let the legend of Class VII begin anew ahead of the full game’s launch on 22nd October!
