Falcom will continue to released packaged game software and Innovation Unit, a subsidiary of Falcom, will leverage the company’s series and tech for new platforms.

Falcom unveiled the next entry in the Trails series today and it’s not for PlayStation Vita. Trails of Nayuta is in development for PSP and slated for release next year.

“With Sony’s PhyreEngine where games can be developed for Vita and PlayStation 3 we are hopeful we can develop games for Vita and PS3 together or have Vita games running on HD screens,” said Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo.

“The way we make games now is different than before when we were primarily developing PC games. We would like to take the knowledge we gained and use our development skills to create a new IP.”

… a conference room and figures!

Falcom will have something other than The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Blue and a swag bag at Tokyo Game Show. The RPG developer tweeted to expect an unannounced surprise during the event.

In this interview, Ken Berry, Director of Publishing at Xseed, talks about the publisher’s plans for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, their relationship with Falcom, and why they brought Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls overseas.

“You know, they’ve actually gone in and localized everything themselves, which is new for them,” Berry explained.

Since we know there are Falcom fans here, we asked readers to submit questions, which we brought to Toshihiro Kondo. While Trails in the Sky was the focus, we also talked about bringing PSP games from Japan overseas, Steam, and their upcoming NGP title.

Curious about what’s next for the Ys series, I asked Toshihiro Kondo, President of Nihon Falcom, about future plans for Ys.

Since I’m sure *some* readers are playing through Trails in the Sky right now I want to open the floor for reader questions for an upcoming Falcom interview.

Speaking with Dengeki PlayStation, Toshihiro Kondo, President of Falcom, said they have a new RPG in development targeted for the NGP launch.

Nippon Ichi and Falcom teamed up to bring characters from Ys, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, and The Legend of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki into their retro dungeon crawler sequel ClaDun 2.

Preparing for the North American release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, Xseed sent over a batch of screenshots and this trailer.
