Konami shared lore for the Suikoden games ahead of the release of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. The lore, shared on social media, details the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire. This was the setting for the first game in the series, although it does make an appearance in the second game.
Konami has currently shared two posts about Scarlet Moon Empire lore. The first of these is a description of various locations players will be able to revisit in Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. These include Lake Toran and the capital of Gregminster. The post then takes us on a tour of Lenankamp, Mt Seifu and The Floating Fortress of Shasarazade. Finally, it references the Great Forest to the south and the desert that forms the border with the City States of Jowston. However, erroneously, the image accompanying this is a picture of Dunan from Suikoden II, not Toran from the first game.
A second post takes us through the history of the Scarlet Moon Empire leading up to the events of the first Suikoden. It mainly focuses on Emperor Barbarossa Rugner’s rise to power. It details the events of the War of Succession, which was triggered by Barbarossa being removed from the line of succession. The post is accompanied by art of Barbarossa raising a sword in victory.
These lore posts are the latest piece of information provided by Konami ahead of the release of the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. Trailers for various characters are being released gradually. Currently, Flik and Odessa, Futch, Pilika and Neclord are some of the characters that have been showcased ahead of the collection’s launch, with some of them appearing in multiple games.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is set to release on March 6, 2025 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
