During Suikoden Live Broadcast, Konami announced Suikoden: Star Leap, a brand-new mobile RPG set in the same world as past Suikoden games.
There will be gacha elements and events, but Suikoden: Star Leap plays very similarly as an RPG to previous games in the series. Out of 108 stars, players can assemble a “dream team” of their favorite Suikoden heroes for battle. Moreover, Kaho Nakamura sings the game’s theme song “Campanula.”
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.
