Suikoden Star Leap, the eagerly awaited mobile spin-off of the beloved Konami RPG series, has unveiled a new story trailer. This trailer offers fans a glimpse into what they can anticipate from this currently Japan-exclusive prequel to the iconic series.
For those unfamiliar with Suikoden, it's worth noting its place alongside other legendary JRPGs. While Square Enix boasts Final Fantasy, Konami's Suikoden transports players to a fantastical realm dominated by the vast, yet corrupt, Scarlet Moon Empire. The narrative follows your journey from a loyal soldier to a rebel fighting against this oppressive regime.
Although the new story trailer is in Japanese, limiting the amount of information that can be gleaned, Konami has provided a synopsis that sheds light on the plot. Expect a tale woven with themes of revenge, intrigue, and rebuilding, as you and your companions delve into the mystery behind the attack and destruction of your home village.
**Leaps and bounds**The choice to release the Japanese story trailer on Konami's official English language channel hints at the company's awareness of the series' cult status in the West. The trailer not only teases upcoming characters and their roles but also offers glimpses of the gameplay. This move suggests that, despite Suikoden Star Leap being slated for a Japan-only release, a Western or global rollout may be on the horizon, possibly already in development at Konami.
