The many, many heroes ofEiyudenare gearing up for their debut.Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroeswill launch on July 26, 2025 for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.
Announced during today’sNintendo Direct, Rabbit and Bear Studios’ RPG successor to theSuikodenseries is locked in for release. Originally planned for this year,Hundred Heroeswaspushed back to Q2 2024for extra development time.
How’s that panning out? Well,today’s trailercertainly makesEiyuden Chroniclelook promising, to say the least. The video spotlights protagonists Nowa, Seign, and Marisa, as well as tons of characters to recruit and team-up attacks.
There’s also a home base to build out and fill with your growing roster of companions, as befitting a follow-up toSuikoden. Those, plus special attacks like the Magical Girl technique we saw and a pirate shark too, make it look like there’s a lot of variety in the cast.
Assembling the heroes
Eiyuden Chroniclehas been in development for a while, since itsKickstarteraccrued a massive amount of cash back in 2020. Developed bySuikodencreator Yoshitaka Murayama under Rabbit and Bear,Eiyudenhas looked more and more like a return to the format’s roots with each new glimpse.
And even in its spin-off, theEiyudenpitch has looked promising. 2022’sEiyuden Chronicle: Risingwas a pleasant surprise, setting the stage forHundred Heroeswhile focusing on a more action-RPG take. Much likeBloodstainedprepared the way forRitual of the NightwithCurse of the Moon,Risinghas me eager to seeHundred Heroesarrive.
Thankfully, it’s not far off.Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesis setting an April date in an increasingly stacked 2024, but I’ll definitely find a way to make some time. Hopefully the revival goes well whenHundred Heroeshits Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on July 03, 2025.
