Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter release date
The game is out now. Two release dates are circulating, and this page shows both exactly as each source publishes them, without picking one.
A · OFFICIAL C · UNRESOLVED
Both are printed as published. Steam’s own launch post carries 16 September in the community hub and 17 September in the store page’s news module, so the disagreement is a storefront-level one rather than a difference between publishers.
Change trigger a corrected storefront field, or a publisher notice naming one date.
WHAT WE CAN STATE PLAINLY
- The game is available now on all four platforms. Nothing on this page depends on which of the two dates is correct.
- The demo is live and free on the same storefronts; see /demo/ for its scope.
- We do not print a countdown, a “days since launch” figure, or an unlock-time table, because any of those would require choosing one of the two dates.

Store detail worth knowing: the Steam launch discount on the Standard Edition is stated to end 23 September 2026, so the $53.99 figure has an expiry attached to it and the $59.99 list price does not.

WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY
- Confirm which platform version you are buying. Switch 2 Edition is a distinct purchase from the Switch version; /platforms/ sets out the difference and the $4.99 upgrade path.
- If you want the cosmetic Season Pass content, note that it ships in three dated drops rather than all at once — see /golden-wings-edition/.
- If you are unsure the game is for you, the free demo runs about ten hours and its save carries forward — see /demo/.
