PS4 JRPGs Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 Are Getting PS5 Versions, It Seems | Push Square
according to newly registered ESRB ratings, it looks like Falcom's excellent JRPGs, Trails of Cold Steel 3 and Trails of Cold Steel 4, are coming to PS5. The two sequels, which released on western PS4s in 2019 and 2020 respectively, are published by NIS America outside of Japan — and we all know how much that company loves its PS5 ports.
NISA previously launched PS5 versions of Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana and Ys 9: Monstrum Nox, but neither title boasts an upgrade path from their PS4 editions. As such, we expect Cold Steel 3 and 4 to be full price re-releases. What's more, the turn-based adventures already run at 60 frames-per-second — much like the aforementioned Ys games — on Sony's last-gen console, and are obviously perfectly playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility, so we're left wondering what these ports will actually improve.
