The next Suikoden game won't be limited to mobile devices after all. Free-to-play strategy RPG Suikoden Star Leap is coming to PC, Konami has announ💃ced, thou💎gh when it’ll release is still in the air.

A new Konami Press Start just happened, bri𓃲ngi꧃ng a wave of news across the publisher’s stable of franchises. Among the announcements was some time dedicated to classic JRPG property Suikoden, which is undergoing something of a resurgence.

As is tradition wit🧸hin Suikoden, Star Leap has you set out on a quest, with the help of up to 108 allies along the way. There'll be a large map to explore, encouraging you to out your potential friends and have them join your cause. In terms of the mythology, it's considered canon, set somewhere between the first and fifth games.

Being free-to-play using gacha mechanics, it's unknown wha♚t the balance will be between what’s freely playable versus pay-gated. In a post-Genshin Impact industry, it's likely what's released will be satisfying without giving a single penny to some degree, but there are many ways monetization could be invasive and harmful to the overall experience

However it's done, you can use your PC to see whether the game is for you. No release window is available just yet. As of yet this is the only new game in the Suikoden re🎃vival thus far, but we'll see if that changes in the ne🌳ar future.

Suikoden lead hopes to expand the cult JRPG series "beyond where it ended" and would happily follow Zelda to the silver screen: "If you have any friends in Hollywood, please let us know"
