Konami has had a complicated relationship with its fanbase over the years—remember when they shifted focus to pachinko and left series like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania in limbo?

Their recent anniversary stream for the Suikoden franchise was a love letter to long-time fans, unveiling a wave of exciting new content—including the franchise’s first-ever mobile-first title: Suikoden Star Leap.
This new release marks a bold step forward, blending nostalgic charm with modern accessibility. A stunning trailer showcases lush 2.5D visuals, vibrant pixel art, and an expansive Japanese fantasy world ripe for exploration. It’s a visual treat that honors the series’ legacy while embracing new platforms.
For series veterans curious about the timeline, Suikoden Star Leap is set after Suikoden V but before the events of the original Suikoden, offering a fresh narrative bridge between two pivotal entries.
