  • Suikoden Star Leap has released a new story trailer
  • It shows off some hints at what we can expect, but it’s sadly only available in Japanese
  • But Konami’s own synopsis helps offer context to the characters we see in this new trailer

The upcoming mobile game, Suikoden Star Leap – a spin-off of the beloved Konami role-playing game series – recently unveiled a fresh story trailer. This latest video offers fans a sneak peek into what they can anticipate from this Japan-exclusive prequel to the series as it stands now.

For those unfamiliar with its background, let me introduce you to the legendary JRPG series, Suikoden. While Square Enix boasts Final Fantasy, Konami held its ground with Suikoden. This game transports you into a fantastical realm, the Scarlet Moon Empire, which is not only vast but also corrupted. Your journey begins as a loyal soldier, eventually transforming you into a rebel fighting against this oppressive regime.

Unfortunately, as the new trailer for the story is in Japanese, it’s not providing much information. However, Konami has kindly provided a synopsis, so we know that the story will revolve around themes of revenge, mystery, and rebuilding as you and your companions work together to discover why your village was attacked and destroyed, and possibly seek retribution.


Leaps and bounds

Releasing the Japanese story trailer on Konami’s official English channel provides some tantalizing clues. Besides sneak peeks at new characters and their functions, as well as hints about gameplay, it also suggests that Konami acknowledges the popularity of their franchise in the Western world, which has achieved cult-like status.

While it’s currently designed for a Japan-only launch, there’s a high likelihood that Suikoden Star Leap could potentially see a global release, possibly even in the West, hinting at plans that might be underway at Konami, though this is not yet confirmed.
