Ship to Shore PhonoCo announced that they will be releasing the soundtrack for the game Suikoden on a blue marble vinyl record. It is available to pre-order from the official site now. This marks the first time the Konami JRPG’s soundtrack appeared on vinyl. The album itself will be titled Into a World of Illusion.

A short video featuring the album’s cover art and a sample of the music from the soundtrack can be found in the announcement tweet below.

Suikoden is a Japanese RPG franchise developed by Konami that launched in 1995. Running for five main series games between 1995 and 2006, it features a story centered around the concept of the 108 Stars of Destiny, an idea that originally appeared in the Chinese novel The Water Margin. Each star in-game is represented by a character you can recruit.

In 2023, the first two games in the Suikoden series will make their way to modern consoles in a collection titled Suikoden I&II HD collection: Gate Ruin and Duncan Unification War. The compilation will be released for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

The soundtrack to Suikoden can be pre-ordered on Ship to Shore PhonoCo.’s website immediately.
