The announcement that NIS America was taking over caused some concern among fans, due to the issues with the initial localization of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. Localization into English and French was handled by NIS America rather than Xseed Games, who localized the first two Trails of Cold Steel games. It was released in Japan for the PlayStation 4 on September 28, 2017. The Japanese release was initially scheduled for Q3 2017 for the PlayStation 4.

Because Vita has kind of been on the decline for a while outside of Japan, and because the PS4 userbase is pretty established elsewhere, we have begun shifting toward PS4 development". Ys: Memories of Celceta, for example, sold more outside of Japan than it did inside of Japan.

"Foreign sales have reached a point with both the Trails and Ys series and where we can't ignore them from a development angle anymore. This premise was reiterated by Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo: It was mentioned in the shareholder's meeting that a deciding factor in developing the game for the PS4 was to help ensure higher international sales for the game as the PS4 had a much larger userbase in most countries outside of Japan at the time. Unlike the previous two entries, no Vita or PlayStation 3 versions were developed. The game was officially revealed in December 2016. Like the previous Trails of Cold Steel entries, it was developed using the PhyreEngine game engine. Full-scale development began around mid-2016. However, the team also wanted to consider using the much more powerful PlayStation 4, which would greatly help with the game's scope. On one hand, the PlayStation Vita was preferred, due to its larger installed base in Japan, and prior entries in the series being released there. Initial planning began in early 2016, though the development team was divided on which platforms the game should release for. Intentions to create a third Trails of Cold Steel game were announced as early as December 2015, at Nihon Falcom's 2015 shareholder's meeting. But Rean and Class VII (New and Old) better not let their guard down, as Ouroboros and the Chancellor are plotting something that could engulf the entire continent in war, or something far more sinister. While training his students, the new Class VII, Rean is ordered by the Imperial government to resolve numerous conflicts arising all across Erebonia (Mainly Ouroboros, who are trying to 'retake the Phantasmal Blaze Plan', stolen from underneath them by Chancellor Osborne in the previous game's finale) as part of the campus's field exercises, assisted by his former classmates in the old Class VII. The story is centered around main character Rean Schwarzer, now a military professor, as well as his students, and the rest of his military school friends from the prior two entries, exploring subjects such as the mysterious origins of Rean's birth, and what the others have been up to since the events of the prior games.
The game is a direct sequel to the prior two Trails of Cold Steel games, picking up one year after the events of Trails of Cold Steel II and after the Northern War in between the Imperial army of Erebonia and the Northern Jaegers of North Ambria. Attacking an enemy depletes its break gauge bar, and when fully depleted the enemy is weakened for one turn. The new "Break" system was also added, which adds a "Break Gauge" bar to enemies.
The game contains a new system called "Brave Order" which lets players expend a new resource built up during battle called "Brave Points "to get special effects such as buffs or heals. An emphasis was made on speeding up battles, including making transitions into battle scenes more seamless, and being able to map out more battle commands to specific buttons rather than various menus, though battles are still primarily menu-based. The gameplay of Trails of Cold Steel III is similar to the previous two Trails of Cold Steel games, being a traditional Japanese role-playing video game with turn-based battles.
