XSEED Games announced today that the PC version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will be out on August 2nd, and it will cost US$ 39.99 (with a 10% launch week discount).
The publisher originally intended to release Trails of Cold Steel‘s PC port on July, but they had to delay it for unspecified reasons (probably tied to the fact that modding legend Peter “Durante” Thoman was replacing the game’s rendering backend in order to achieve better performance on low power systems)
