The eagerly anticipated mobile spin-off of the beloved Konami RPG series, Suikoden Star Leap, has unveiled a new story trailer. This trailer offers fans a glimpse into what they can anticipate from this prequel, which is currently exclusive to Japan.
For those unfamiliar with Suikoden, it's a cult-classic JRPG series akin to Square Enix's Final Fantasy. Set in a fantasy realm dominated by the vast yet corrupt Scarlet Moon Empire, the series follows your journey from a loyal soldier to a rebel fighting against the regime.
Although the new trailer is in Japanese, making it challenging to fully understand, Konami's official synopsis sheds light on the narrative. Expect a tale filled with revenge, intrigue, and rebuilding as you and your companions investigate the attack and destruction of your home village.
**Leaps and bounds** The release of the Japanese story trailer on Konami's official English language channel is a promising sign. It not only teases upcoming characters and hints at gameplay but also suggests that Konami acknowledges the series' cult following in the West. While Suikoden Star Leap is slated for a Japan-only release, the move hints at a possible Western or global launch, potentially already in development.
