Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the spiritual succesor to the classic Suikoden series of JRPGs, and it's coming to PS5 and PS4 in 2023. A new trailer was released at Gamescom, giving us a look at the game's gorgeous art style and some brief snippets of gameplay.

The project began life as a Kickstarter project, which was wildly successful, the third most successful after Shenmue III and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, raising some $4.5 million. Continuing the tradition of the Suikoden series, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will feature a massive cast of playable characters that you will be able to swap in and out of your party, 110 apparently, despite the game's title.

Looks gorgeous, though would have been better if it was more of a soulslike gameplay wise.

I'm happy I played Eiyuden Chronicle Rising earlier this year as I can see some characters from that in this trailer. Anyone interested in this game should check out Rising, it's a fun action RPG with fantastic town building and is a great introduction to the world, plus it's pretty cheap for what you get, I played for 21 hours and got all achievements for it.

Bit of a shame that Sony didn't target this as a game for what ultimately became the PS Plus Extra tier given the PS1's ties to the Suikoden series...guess the XB gamepass wallet was too big.
Still wish the ps1 Suikoden games were part of the ps1 classics on the misfiring PS Deluxe/ premium to buy or a collection collab with Konami like they did with Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
Anyway fingers crossed it lives up to what's definitely promising footage. 🤞
