Suikoden 1 & 2 Remastered release date leaks and rumors A recent new listing from Belgian & French retailer Fnac has possibly leaked a potential release date for Suikoden I & II Remastered. They put the date as March 9, 2023, but take that with a hefty grain of salt.

There have been no other reported rumors or listings of a potential release date. Suikoden series history https://www.youtube.com/watch?vibpBLv47IaY Suikoden was released back in 1996 by Konami and created by Yoshitaka Murayama. Its politically driven story featuring a cast of over 100 playable characters is what set it apart from other JRPGs of the era. Murayama left the series right before the third game was released, and there hasn't been a new mainline game since 2006 with Suikoden V. He later went on to form a Kickstarter for a spiritual successor to the franchise named Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, which has a similarly structured story and gameplay elements and ended up being a massive success. In Suikoden I, the plot revolves around the decline of the Scarlet Moon Empire, and you, the son of a famous general, are tasked with finding 108 warriors. That led to one of the series's trademarks of having more than one hundred playable characters. The second game focuses on a silent protagonist who is the child of an old war hero. They struggle with dark histories, fate, and again recruiting over 100 characters. Talk about a lot of "chosen ones." The remastered versions of the two games will reportedly include several new features. These include things like updated visuals, new sound effects, and the option to fast-forward battles. Suikoden I & II Remastered is set to release in 2023 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. There has been no word of PS5 or Xbox Series S/X versions.
