The game will be coming to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in physical and digital forms on September 6, 2016. NIS America will be releasing the game in Europe sometime in the fall of 2016, but no exact date has been confirmed.
Trails of Cold Steel II is the second game in the sub-series, with a third game in the sub-series currently in development in Japan.
