Falcom shared a mysterious tweet on November 6, teasing something is coming on November 7. The tweet only says “Tomorrow” and includes a link towardsFalcom’s official site.
Before we get hyped, there are multiple elements we should keep in mind. It’s best to always take with a grain of salt what Falcom publishes on its official Twitter. The Twitter account is handled by multiple individuals and is often tongue-in-cheek. This announcement was teased with Rean wearing some of the flashiest costumes and accessories you can get. Falcom’s Twitter account also regularly jokes about Adol and Dogi being lovers. Or that Falcom’s cat mascot Mishy is the peak of manliness. So this might as well be teasing the announcement of something super small, such as new goods for theTrails/Kisekiseries.
However, if it’s not new goods, then we might get a teaser for a new game, and with more details coming later through Famitsu magazine or Dengeki PlayStation magazine. We might be getting an announcement regarding thepreviously mentioned"Trails of Cold SteelGaiden"-like game. As it’s supposed to release before thenext main game in theTrails/Kisekiseries. Another possibility, but its unlikely seeing they picked a Rean screenshot, would be new info regarding thePS4 versions ofZero no KisekiandAo no Kiseki. These games were teased during theKiseki Series15th anniversary stream (spoiler-filled summary here). These PS4 versionsmight be coming west one day too.Meanwhile, we just gotTrails of Cold Steel IIIin the west thanks to NIS America.
In any case, even if nothing happens on November 7, Falcom will definitely announce its next game before the end of 2019. This is how they do things. Falcom always releases one big game a year, at the end of September, and that game is usually announced at the end of the year in November or December. This year’s game wasYs IX: Monstrum Nox, which released on September 26 in Japan and was announced in December 2018.WhileYs IXhas no western release planned yet,It’ll definitely come over. I’ve been enjoying the Japanese version myself, and an editorial with my impressions should be coming soon. It’s hard to juggle between all the games released recently, includingPersona 5 Royal.Anyway, you can checkour interview with Toshihiro Kondo if you haven’t yet.
