Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes preview

It always seems to happen the same way: just when I think I’m ready to take a break from playing big, sprawling JRPGs that threatens to suck up every ounce of my free time, along comes a game like Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that immediately makes me reconsider. After spending the past few years deep in development following an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, the turn-based RPG will finally land on Switch next spring and will hopefully help scratch the Suikoden itch that Konami has ignored for over a decade. I was fortunate to have a chance to demo the game in Los Angeles recently, and while I only got to experience a small sliver of the opening chunk of the game, I really enjoyed what bits of the story, combat, and exploration I played.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes release date

September 14: Thanks to today’s Nintendo Direct, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes now has a release date. We’ll be seeing it on April 23, 2024.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes was originally funded in 2020 on Kickstarter. The game comes from previous developers of the Suikoden series.

Additionally, more information will follow on September 14.
