A new installment in the Suikoden series is making its way to PC platforms, reflecting a revival of the JRPG franchise by Konami. However, with this development comes a catch: the game will be a free-to-play mobile gacha title.
The long-awaited Suikoden game expansion is coming soon to PC! Say goodbye to mobile exclusivity, as free-to-play strategy RPG, Suikoden Star Leap, will be gracing PC platforms, according to recent announcements from publishers Konami.
Prepare to reunite with the classic JRPG property Suikoden, which has seen a significant revival in 2022, starting with HD remasters of the first two games on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch, and the announcement of an anime show based on the second game's storyline. Now, the excitement has escalated as it's confirmed that Star Leap will be available on Steam as well, allaying concerns it might be restricted to just Android and iOS devices.
Typical to the Suikoden series, Star Leap will immerse you in an epic quest, with the assistance of a selection of up to 108 characters at your side. The expansive map invites you to seek out potential allies and bring them into your charge. Set between the first and fifth games, Star Leap's narrative will be considered canonical within the Suikoden lore.
With its free-to-play status and gacha gameplay mechanics, it remains to be seen how the balance between accessible content and pay-gated features will play out. The post-Genshin Impact era might promise a relatively satisfactory experience without spending a dime, yet monetization could potentially be overly intrusive and detract from the overall experience.
Soon enough, you'll be able to test out Suikoden Star Leap on your trusty PC. A release window has yet to be unveiled. This seems to be the sole new game in the Suikoden revival for the time being, but stay tuned for further updates!
The creative minds behind Suikoden aspire to expand the beloved JRPG series "beyond where it ended," expressing a readiness to join the likes of Zelda in cinematic adaptations: "Should you have any connections in Hollywood, we'd be most appreciative if you could let us know!"
