Gaming News Tokyo Game Show 2022: A big name in roleplaying reappears just before the show! The return of a great license?
As the opening of the Tokyo Game Show draws near, Konami has just carried out a brand refresh that gives hope to all Japanese RPG enthusiasts. So what does the publisher have in store for us?
Le teasing de Konami…
When Konami announced a few days ago that a new game would be announced as part of the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, “which is part of a series that is popular around the world”, the internet was in turmoil. It must be said that the Konami name is linked to several famous licenses, starting with Metal Gear, Castlevania or even Silent Hill, which has been the subject of rumors only recently. In reality, Konami may well have several big surprises in store for us, with possibly a return to the forefront of his great RPG sag a Suikoden
Renewal of the Suikoden brand!
Indeed it seems so Konami has renewed the trademark for the Suikoden series after an application was submitted in June but only validated this week. Or just after the publisher announced its intention to announce a new game during the Tokyo Game Show related to a franchise dear to the nostalgic. Of course, a simple rebranding can’t be enough to validate the upcoming announcement of a Suikoden game, but knowing that The event, organized by Konami as part of TGS 2022, will feature voice actor Yûji Kaji (Jowy’s voice actor in Suikoden 2 and Suikoden Zodiac).… and by the way Eren Jäger Attack of the Titans), the signals nevertheless begin to multiply. It would also stick with the suggestion that the announcement would be for a smaller-scale series than the must-haves. Castlevania
If you’re new to the Suikoden saga, you know that two years ago it already celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary and stuff The last numbered episode dates back to 2006 with the release of Suikoden V. Spin-offs were released later but more confidentially.
More recently, the franchise had again been indirectly talked about the game Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred heroes conceived by the creators of Suikoden through Rabbit & Bear Studios and validated thanks to a Kickstarter campaign and always eagerly awaited by nostalgics. Last May, however, a title set in the same universe called Eiyuden Chronicle Rising failed to win over the masses. All hopes are now pinned on Konami for a true return of Suikoden on our current machines.
