The Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero was released on September 10, 2026. Developed by Nihon Falcom, this role-playing game (RPG) is the first part of the Crossbell arc, which includes Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure. The game originally launched in Japan in 2010 and was localized for Western audiences in 2022 by NIS America. This localization used English text created by fantrad Geofront and technical support from PH3. The Switch 2 version improves on this with updated technical features. In Trails from Zero, players take on the role of Lloyd Bannings, a young graduate of the police academy returning to Crossbell, an independent city-state located between the Empire of Erebonie and the Republic of Calvard. The main goal is to prove oneself within the Special Support Section (SSS), a new police unit created to help restore the city's reputation. The game blends police investigations, daily life, and geopolitical themes, featuring a complex storyline and NPCs (non-player characters) that have dynamic dialogue that changes regularly. The game uses a tactical turn-based combat system with three types of actions: Arts, Crafts, and Super Crafts. There's also an Orbment system for customizing characters. Exploration takes place in Crossbell's districts, villages, and dungeons, using a semi-aerial view without random battles. Players can choose when to engage in combat, with mechanics for attacking from behind and dodging attacks. The Switch 2 version adds a mouse mode and High Speed Mode, which doubles the game's pace. However, it does not include an upgrade pass for those who already own the Switch version. The physical compilation of Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure is sold as a Game-Key Card, which has disappointed collectors. The game offers around 50 hours of main content, with extra time for side quests and exploration. However, replayability is limited due to the game's linear structure and heavy dialogue. The soundtrack is composed by Falcom Sound Team jdk, and the game includes high-quality Japanese dubbing. However, the text is only available in English, which is a drawback for French-speaking players. The game runs in 4K at 60 FPS when docked and up to 1440p at 120 Hz on compatible screens. However, some of the visuals retain characteristics from earlier game consoles, with character models and textures that appear dated. Occasionally, there are bugs with flickering textures in TV mode. The game received a 7/10 score, praised for its writing, characters, combat system, and soundtrack. However, it was criticized for the lack of a French translation, graphical limitations, and some gameplay issues, such as an unbalanced difficulty curve and texture bugs.
