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.
