Suikoden Star Leap, the eagerly anticipated mobile spin-off of the beloved Konami RPG series, has unveiled a new story trailer. This trailer provides fans with a tantalizing glimpse into what they can anticipate from this currently Japan-exclusive prequel to the series.
For those unfamiliar with Suikoden, it's worth noting that while Square Enix boasts the Final Fantasy franchise, Konami's answer was Suikoden. The series transports players to a rich fantasy realm dominated by the vast, yet corrupt, Scarlet Moon Empire. Players begin as a loyal soldier, only to transition into a rebel fighting against this oppressive regime.
Regrettably, the new story trailer is in Japanese, limiting the insights non-Japanese speakers can glean. Thankfully, Konami provides a synopsis that outlines a narrative of revenge, intrigue, and rebuilding. As players, you and your friends will embark on a quest to uncover the mystery behind the attack and destruction of your home village.
**Leaps and bounds** The release of the Japanese story trailer on Konami's official English language channel is a promising sign. It not only offers glimpses of new characters and their roles, but also hints at gameplay mechanics. This move suggests that Konami acknowledges the cult-hit status of the Suikoden series in the West. Although Suikoden Star Leap is currently slated for a Japanese-only release, the possibility of a Western or even global launch seems increasingly likely, possibly already in the planning stages at Konami.
While waiting to see if Suikoden Star Leap will be released globally, why not explore other gaming options? Our regular feature, the top five new mobile games to try this week, is now live to help you pass the time!
