Konami Shared Plans for Suikoden Series Future

In an interview with Dengeki Online, Suikoden series Producer Rui Naito, IP & game director Takahiro Sakiyama, and Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Director Tatsuya Ogushi talked about the future of the series, and the announcements made on the recent Suikoden Special Program.

At one point, the Dengeki interviewer asked about the possibility of playing remastered versions of the sequels to Suikoden 1 and 2. In response to that, Producer Naito echoed his intention to reinvigorate the Suikoden series and build upon it in the future, and how the announcement of the mobile game Suikoden Star Leap and the Suikoden: The Anime series will be the second step of that process.

The developer continued by saying that they don’t know how many steps there will be, and joked that there could be as many as 108, in reference to the number of Stars of Destiny in each game. As Konami’s only RPG series, Naito said they want to make sure they’re taking it one step at a time, so they aren’t considering remastering the sequels yet, and will consider what comes next after their current projects are completed.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on March 6, 2025. The original games appeared on the PlayStation worldwide. They also appeared together in a collection on the PSP in Japan.
