Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Delayed: A Quest for Quality

Suikoden

In a recent shocking announcement, Konami has thrown a curveball at fans eagerly awaiting the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster. Brace yourselves, folks, because we won’t be diving back into the world of JRPG greatness anytime this year. Yes, yes, cue the collective sigh.

Suikoden, that classic JRPG series that stole our hearts back in the ancient days of the original PlayStation, was set to make a triumphant return with this much-anticipated remaster. With its rich history spanning four sequels and numerous spinoffs, Suikoden has built an army of loyal fans who can’t wait to relive the magic of Suikoden 2, hailed as one of Konami’s finest PS1 games.

The remastered games were initially announced last year, and gameplay clips graced our screens in early 2023, fueling the excitement of fans around the world. But alas! The dreams of venturing once more into the lush lands of Suikoden have been dashed upon the rocky shores of delay.

Delayed

Konami broke the news on August 29 through a concise announcement on Twitter and the game’s official website. They simply stated that the delay was necessary “to ensure the quality performance and gameplay experience” meets their lofty standards. Kudos to the development team, but good things take time, right?

Now, as heart-wrenching as this news is, it’s not entirely surprising. Suikoden is no ordinary series. These games are massive, folks, I’m talking “Titanic” levels of grandeur. In fact, two Suikoden games have secured a spot on Konami’s list of longest games ever. Turning those pixelated masterpieces into HD wonders is no small task, even with a dedicated team of wizards. Patience, young grasshoppers, patience.

Naturally, the announcement left fans yearning for more concrete details about when they can finally reunite with their beloved Suikoden heroes. Unfortunately, Konami has remained tight-lipped about a new release date. We’re left in the dark, my friends, with only our fervent speculation to keep us company.

Waiting

But fear not, dear adventurers, for the vast realm of JRPGs still holds many treasures to uncover while we await the triumphant return of Suikoden 1 and 2. We shall embark on new quests, bask in the epic tales of other classics, and sharpen our blades in preparation for the day Konami finally bestows upon us the gift of Suikoden.

So where and when can we expect to claim our HD remaster of Suikoden 1 and 2? Well, dear readers, the game is set to launch on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. As for a release date? The gods of game development have yet to reveal that secret to us mere mortals. Stay tuned for updates, my fellow adventurers. The journey continues…
