Does Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Support Multiplayer?

Single-Player Experience Only

The HD remaster of Suikoden 1 & 2 remains a single-player experience without multiplayer functionality. Players will assemble and command parties of six characters, just as in the original PlayStation classics.

This remaster focuses on visual upgrades and quality-of-life improvements while preserving the core single-player RPG experience. The collection stays true to the original gameplay mechanics that made these titles beloved classics.

While some spin-off titles in the series like Suikoden Tactics (which featured local multiplayer) and Genso Suikoden Card Stories (with GBA link cable support) included limited multiplayer options, the main Suikoden games have always been single-player experiences focused on their deep character recruitment systems.

Despite the lack of multiplayer, the HD remaster offers plenty of content with hundreds of recruitable characters and enhanced presentation. For more details about gameplay features and improvements, check out our comprehensive guide below.
