Exciting news, a new successor to Suikoden in the works by the old creator?
I'm interested and perhaps a few others will drop by like I did when they heard about this. Seems like the original artist is involved in character design as well.
It won't be Suikoden but it may be fun!

I had the same thought!
Very pleased with how this looks based on first impressions. The Kickstarter goes live on Monday, and I intend to do my part. It's delightful to see some of the old developers get back together, and I look forward to see what they produce! _________________

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. So much to wrap up in the original canon. Obviously, this is Konami's fault. I can't wrap my head around how they won't just option out the license to a studio the same way Sega did for a proper Shenmue sequel. |

Yes, it's sad what Konami has done with almost all of their IP. I will be looking forward to this one for sure though, and contributing to it.
I heard projected time frame for release was looking at Fall 2022 -- but, hopefully folks will swing by as they hear about it. :) _________________

What is exciting is how Murayama, Komuta. and Kawano are open to ideas from fans. They have been reaching out to the fans -- I regularly speak with Komuta and Kawano in fact, and it seems like there will be a meeting between SRM (Suikoden Revival Movement) members and them to discuss how to generate more interest in the series... along with how to raise funds, etc.
What is clear is Murayama wants to make sure him and his team owns the series and has total control over how they develop the world. This is great! However, they will need a lot of help from fans to continue funding their endeavors, so we can all chip in hopefully. Kichstarter will open on the 27th I heard. |

That's amazing! Definitely keep us (who still lurk) in the loop. _________________

I fully intend to back this as soon as the Kickstarter goes live. It's not Suikoden, but here's hoping that it's the next best thing. _________________

I'm glad I logged on to see this, as I do not think I would have otherwise. I'm definitely going to back (goes live tomorrow) and I'll see if I can get others to back too.
I do have fears, as a friend of mine was a HUGE fan of the Shenmue series and though he backed the new game he was severely disappointed for reasons that would be spoilers to reveal. That said, I'm fairly sure the mechanics of Suikoden are much more timeless than Shenmue which was dated a couple years after its release. _________________

I'm really excited for this and I do hope it pans out. I don't typically like backing videogames on Kickstarter because it doesn't feel like they pan out as often as something like board games do, but I'll be backing this for sure. |

I can't see it up yet but if someone can post a link here when it does that would be handy. _________________

According to their twitter, in the next hour or so it'll be launching.

I'm pretty excited about this news! I never wanted to get my hopes up, but always kept a small hope in the back of my mind the possibility of something like this happening (fell for that damn April fool MORE than once). Looking at app stores these kind of old style games seem to be doing pretty well, at least well enough for a lot of them to be made. I hope that if this happens and is released the climate is favorable and lots of old fans are able to jump back in =) _________________

I would have been probably maxed out if this was a continuation of the Suikoden series. However, I just donated because it does sound cool. _________________

Wow -- we did it, folks. The project has already been funded (nearly $600,000 USD already)! Keep it rolling in... maybe this will show Konami there is still hunger for the series. _________________
