The wait for Eiyuden is almost over -- however, the release will be bittersweet.

Yoshitaka Murayama passed away on February 6, 2024, which was announced a few hours ago by his new company, Rabbit & Bear.

Hello everyone,

It’s with a heavy heart and deep sadness we must inform you that the scenario writer and head of Rabbit & Bear Studios, Yoshitaka Murayama, has passed away on February 6th due to complications with an ongoing illness.

Murayama first began this journey of the creation of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in 2020 through the support of his very loving fans on Kickstarter. Throughout the three-plus-year-development of the game, it was always the passion from his fans that continued to drive his creative vision and motivate him to put his all into the project.

His hard work on Eiyuden Chronicle as scenario writer was finished but as his co-works and friends, it saddens us to know that he won’t get to see the reactions from his fans.

However, even with those feelings we need to accept the reality that he is no longer with us and continue to push his dream forward by releasing Eiyuden Chronicle to the world.

We want to maintain his legacy and vision with this game and know that he would have wanted the rich world he has created with Eiyuden Chronicle to live on.

His family sincerely appreciates your prayers and support but asks for privacy and that no flowers, mail, or other offerings be sent.

We will have more information on organizational changes to Rabbit & Bear as well as changes to some of the Kickstarter rewards in the near future.

For now, we appreciate your continued support.

Rebbit & Bear Studios,
Junko Kawano
Junichi Murakami
Osamu Komuta


It is bittersweet, but I am glad he was able to return to making a spiritual successor to Suikoden before his passing.

I wish his friends and family all the best during this difficult time. I hope his efforts are rewarded and Eiyuden is a critical and financial success.

Totally shocked me when I heard....it's especially sad when you consider he'll never know what people think of Eiyuden...his "final work"

And to think he was only 55 or so I heard...
