Suikoden Fans Rejoice With the Announcement of a Suikoden 2 Anime...and a Brand New Mobile Gacha Game

by Aiden Mar 06,2025

Konami's Suikoden livestream brought a mix of joy and apprehension to fans. The highlight was the announcement of a Suikoden anime, based on Suikoden II, marking Konami's first animation production. While details remain scarce, including international availability, a brief visual was revealed:

This is exciting news for longtime fans and potentially a great introduction for newcomers, assuming broad distribution.

However, the reveal of a new mobile game, Suikoden Star Leap, generated mixed reactions. The game boasts stunning visuals reminiscent of Octopath Traveler, a prequel timeline bridging Suikoden I and V, and the series' iconic 108 characters.

The mobile platform and inclusion of gacha mechanics, however, proved controversial. This monetization strategy departs from the series' traditional premium model, raising concerns about accessibility and the impact on gameplay. The long-term effects on player experience and character collection remain to be seen.

Meanwhile, the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars collection received a new trailer and launches March 6th, offering a more familiar experience for fans in the interim.
