Suikoden Star Leap sees Konami's fan-favourite RPG franchise jump onto mobile
An anime series and more!
- Suikoden Star Leap is the newly-announced release in the cult classic Suikoden series
- It comes alongside news of an RPG and an exclusive behind-the-scenes livestream
- Suikoden Star Leap takes place between the 5th and 1st entries of the franchise
Konami is a bit of a divisive company; I fondly remember when they pivoted to pachinko (alliteration unintended) and left many fans of franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania feeling left out in the cold. Since then, however, things have begun to look brighter, and to demonstrate that the fan-favourite RPG franchise Suikoden's anniversary stream revealed a whole host of new content, including a new release on mobile!
Yes, Suikoden Star Leap is set to bring fans of the franchise a mobile-first release for the very first time! We've even got a gorgeously-rendered trailer showing off lavish 2.5D art, with colourful pixels and a vast Japanese fantasy world for you to explore.
For fans of the series who are interested to know where this sits in the timeline, Suikoden Star Leap takes place before the first entry in the series, but after the prequel Suikoden V.
It's a surprisingly good time to be a fan of Konami. Whether that's the hotly-anticipated remaster of Metal Gear Solid III: Snake Eater, the return of Castlevania cult favourites in their Vampire Survivors crossover, or the above news about Suikoden.
And yes, it's not just a new mobile release either! Fans will soon be able to thrill to the action with a new anime series based on Suikoden, while the livestream we mentioned before includes a rare behind-the-scenes look at the game, its concept and creation.
However, at the moment we don't know much more about a potential release date or platforms. But rest assured we'll keep you posted when more news about Suikoden Star Leap hits the headlines.
In the meantime, if you find yourself hankering for some roleplaying action then look no further. Our ranking of the top RPGs on mobile puts all the best in the genre within the palm of your hand!
