The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is a third-person real-time ARPG in the The Legend of Heroes series, developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America.

The game is an enhanced version of the 2012 PlayStation Portable game, Nayuta no Kiseki, based off the Kai remaster, originally released in Japan for PlayStation 4 in 2021.

The PC port was handled by PH3 Games and includes a number of enhancements and quality-of-life features that are exclusive to this release, such as support for ultrawide monitors, an unlimited draw distance, higher-resolution textures, and a toggleable High-Speed Mode.

The game was released on December 10, 2021 in Asian territories on Steam, and internationally on multiple storefronts on September 19, 2023.
