Konami announced a manga adaptation of the newly unveiled Suikoden: Star Leap mobile game is in the works. Aki Shimizu, the manga author for the Suikoden III manga, returns to work on the Suikoden: Star Leap manga.
Shimizu is also currently working on The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei series, with 10 volumes released so far. The manga artist also shared a comment during the Suikoden Live Broadcast on March 3, which was streamed on YouTube.
“A new addition to the Suikoden series, after a long silence! I’m already looking forward to meeting him…and her…and all the others,” Shimizu commented.
The new Suikoden: Star Leap game features gacha elements and events, but Suikoden: Star Leap retains the franchise’s signature combat system. Out of 108 stars, players can assemble a “dream team” of their favorite Suikoden heroes for battle.
The game is set between the events of Suikoden V and the original Suikoden, following the story of Hero (CV: Tomohiro Ono) and maid servant Hisui (CV: Hika Tsukishiro). The voice cast of Suikoden: Star Leap also includes Akio Otsuka as Hou, the Hero’s father, Fairouz Ai as Shirin, the Hero’s childhood friend, and Takuya Sato as Shapur, the Hero’s teacher and butler.
Moreover, Konami announced Suikoden: The Anime, which is an anime adaptation of Suikoden II. Suikoden: The Anime will be the first anime series directly handled by Konami Animation.
Lastly, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars launches March 6 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
