Konami, a company with a somewhat checkered history, is making a surprising comeback, especially for fans of their classic RPG franchises. The recent anniversary stream for the beloved Suikoden series revealed a wealth of exciting new content, most notably: Suikoden Star Leap, the first-ever mobile entry in the franchise!
Suikoden Star Leap promises a gorgeous 2.5D visual experience, boasting vibrant pixel art and a sprawling Japanese fantasy world ripe for exploration. A stunning trailer showcases this beautiful aesthetic. For those wondering about its place in the timeline, the game is set between Suikoden V and the original Suikoden.
It's a great time to be a Konami fan! Alongside Suikoden Star Leap, announcements include a highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid III: Snake Eater remaster, the delightful crossover of Castlevania characters in Vampire Survivors, and now, a brand-new Suikoden anime series! The aforementioned livestream also offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of Suikoden Star Leap’s development, concept art, and creation process.
