Story Demo
Play through the Prologue of The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon! Van Arkride and Arkride Solutions return as the fate of the entire Zemurian continent hangs in the balance. With Zemuria preparing for its first space venture, Van Arkride, Rean Schwarzer, and Father Kevin Graham are called to a Marduk training exercise that sets them on a collision course with the secrets at the heart of the world. Their paths may diverge, but the ultimate question remains the same: Just what lies beyond the edge of the horizon?
The Story Demo is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch*, Nintendo Switch 2*, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
*All save data will carry over to the main game upon release with the day one patch.
Battle Demo
Battle in the Grim Garten! Choose from three party selections (Van, Kevin, and Rean) and take on the Grim Garten, a virtual reality service originally developed by Marduk that has since been hacked by Ouroboros, who altered both its appearance and functionalities. Its earlier version, the ‘Marchen Garten,’ was considered the world’s first fully immersive virtual reality service and had the ability to connect users across the continent through the power of the orbal network.
The Battle Demo is exclusively available now on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon releases on January 15, 2026.
