North American video game publisher XSEED Games began streaming the announcement trailer on Friday for its release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel ( Eiyū Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki ). XSEED announced in June that it plans to release the game for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in North America and Europe this fall.

XSEED describes the game's story:

Rean Schwarzer, like any other citizen of the Imperial Nation, is no stranger to these rising conflicts: the class system has been deeply interwoven into the tapestry of Erebonian culture since the days of old. As a seventeen-year-old student preparing for his new life at Thors Military Academy, however, he notices that his crimson uniform differs from the standard outfits issued to his peers—typically green for commoners, and white for nobles.

Enter, Class VII of Thors Military Academy. For the first time in the prestigious academy's history, rank means nothing and skill means everything. With nine hand-picked students of various backgrounds and abilities, Rean included, Class VII readies itself to dive deep into the political quagmire that threatens not only them, but the very foundations of the Empire.
