30 years after the release of the original PS1 game and 19 years after the launch of the final main series entry on PS2, Suikoden is back in the form of a highly anticipated remaster collection. Sure, Suikoden 1&2 HD Remaster might just be a re-release of some classic JRPGs, but even publisher Konami is hopeful this revival can become something more.
"We hope that it will become a huge title that can rival other AAA titles," series producer Rui Naito tells Bloomberg. "We hope to take it one step at a time." Besides the new remaster, those steps have included the announcement of an anime adaptation of Suikoden 2, and the launch of a new mobile game that adds new story elements to the series for the first time in decades.
