On November 11, Nihon Falcom announced its annual financial results for the period ending September 30, 2026, with revenue and all profit metrics reaching record highs for the company. The company also confirmed that a sequel to "The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki" will be released in the next fiscal year ending September 2027, with supplementary financial materials explicitly referring to it as the "final chapter."
Revenue for the fiscal year was 4.474 billion yen, a 71.2% year-on-year increase; operating profit was 2.867 billion yen, up 113.8%; ordinary profit was 2.907 billion yen, up 113.1%; and net profit reached 2.007 billion yen, a 122.2% increase.
Falcom stated that the current period's releases, "Kyoto Strange Tales -Sakura Phantom Dance-" and "Trails in the Sky the 2nd," performed well in sales, while last fiscal year's "Trails in the Sky the 1st" continued to expand its sales, jointly driving performance growth. Licensing business revenue reached 3.5 billion yen, accounting for approximately 78% of total revenue, including IP licensing, smartphone-related initiatives, and overseas game publishing.
The company also announced that cumulative sales of the "Trails" series have surpassed 10 million copies. Meanwhile, the third entry in the Trails in the Sky remake series was not included in the product lineup for the next fiscal year.
As only one new game is planned for release in the next fiscal year and sales of "Trails in the Sky" are expected to stabilize, Falcom forecasts revenue of 3 billion yen, operating profit of 1.5 billion yen, and net profit of 1 billion yen for the upcoming fiscal year.
