Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Pre-launch Trailer. |UP| Will be getting a sequel although creator has passed away.

[Gamernyc78]

Update 4/19

Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of Suikoden and its spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle, passed away in February due to complications with an ongoing illness. Murayama created the Suikoden series in the 1990s, and produced, wrote and directed the first three games in the series before leaving Konami to become a freelance developer.

In 2020, he founded Rabbit & Bear studios and launched a Kickstarter campaign for the series’ spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. However, his passing means he was not able to live to see the game’s release, which will be on April 23 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

In a recent Reddit AMA about the game ahead of its release next week, senior members of the development team (using a single account) invited fans of the series to ask them questions.

One user asked:

What’s next for Rabbit & Bear? With the unfortunate passing of Murayama-san, are plans for a potential sequel to Eiyuden Chronicle up in the air (provided that the sales are well above or within expectations)?”

The studio replied that plans for a sequel had already been laid out by Murayama before his death, and that those plans would continue to go ahead.

“Absolutely! We are moving forward with a sequel

It replied.

“It is very sad that Murayama is not with us anymore, but we have discussed many things with him. I hope we will be able to carry on Murayama’s legacy, and I always want to treasure his last work. I hope many people will support this game.”

i'm always confused when I hear about Eiyuden Chronicle stuff because I'm not sure if this one is the game or not

but I guess this one, in fact, is the game.

They had launched some kind of mini prequel I think, which is why @Polyh3dron is saying he wasn't sure if this was supposed to be the main title they announced in the first place.

Has anyone backed this on kickstarter? Or planning on buying the early access deluxe version, Please do tell how the game is. Suikoden 3 is one of my favorite games so was planning on picking this up if it is half as good as the first 3 suikodens

 

[Polyh3dron]

I got the greenmangaming discount so I'll be playing on normal launch day with the plebs

PS5 is the definitive version to play. Hence it makes sense since Genso Suikodem has birthed on PS One.

 

[quest4441]

looks like its a decent suikoden clone, will pick it up in may as I have no intention of playing lulblade 2
