Konami has announced that Aki Shimizu’s Suikoden Star Leap: Trails of the Stars manga is now being serialized in English on Kadokawa’s Comic Walker website. The Suikoden Star Leap manga adaptation is being serialized bi-monthly in Japanese and English going forward. Shimizu previously worked on the Suikoden III manga, and she is also working on the ongoing The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei manga series.
The Suikoden: Star Leap mobile game is coming soon to Android, iOS, and PC via Steam. The new game features gacha elements and events, but the new title retains the Suikoden franchise’s signature combat system. Out of 108 stars, players can assemble a “dream team” of their favorite Suikoden heroes for battle.
Fans can also look forward to Suikoden: The Anime, which premieres in 2026. Yūzō Satō directs Suikoden: The Anime at Konami animation.
