Suikoden Star Leap sees Konami\'s fan-favourite RPG franchise jump onto mobile

Konami, a company with a somewhat checkered history, is making a surprising comeback, delighting fans of its classic RPG franchises. The recent anniversary stream for the beloved Suikoden series unveiled a treasure trove of exciting news, including the announcement of a brand-new mobile game: Suikoden Star Leap!

This marks the first-ever mobile entry in the Suikoden franchise, and initial trailers showcase stunning 2.5D visuals, vibrant pixel art, and a captivating Japanese fantasy world ripe for exploration. For those wondering where Star Leap fits into the established timeline, it's set between Suikoden V and the original Suikoden.

It's a remarkable time to be a Konami fan. The excitement surrounding Suikoden Star Leap is amplified by the upcoming Metal Gear Solid III: Snake Eater remaster, the Castlevania presence in Vampire Survivors, and now, this. But the announcements don't stop there! A new anime series based on Suikoden is also in the works, and the aforementioned livestream offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the development of Star Leap.
