Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster review

System: Switch
Release date: March 6, 2025
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami


Konami’s Suikoden series is not only much-lauded for players of turn-based RPGs, but boastfully comprises a total of eleven games, with five of those being mainline titles and the rest being considered spin-offs. With the original Suikoden hitting the PlayStation back in December of 1996 here in the west, it was a time where RPGs could sometimes be hard to find, with pre-orders being a common way for gamers to assure they’d get to have their own copy rather than being a dirty rental peasant like myself. This resulted in the title being mostly overlooked at the time, but having gathered a bit of a cult following since gaining more traction as subsequent titles joined the roster. Teased originally for a 2023 release, after a delay the first two mainline entries in the series will be available for players on modern consoles with Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars – so if you slept on Suikoden before, or haven’t heard of the series this is a very good time for you to see an example of the golden ages of turn-based RPGs.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is almost here, and Konami is gearing up for the launch with a new trailer. The pair of RPGs released way back of the day are now making a comeback with updated visuals, improved gameplay, and more.

Catch up on everything you need to know via the following overview:

Suikoden I HD Remaster opening movie

November 30: With the Suikoden I HD Remaster launch date approaching, Konami has now shared the opening movie. The second game is also included in the collection, but the original game is only getting the focus today.

As for the video, fans can get a look at some of the characters they’ll meet along their journey. Naturally it’s very faithful to the original version.

Suikoden HD interview PSP improvements

In an interview with Famitsu, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster director Tatsuya Ogushi commented on a few topics related to the release and more, including using the PSP version as the base, improvements that were made thanks to the delay, and the series’ future.

PSP versions of the games launched in 2006, but only in Japan. These are the versions that the new HD remasters are based on. Because of this, there won’t be any additions from the SEGA Saturn version.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster

After a lengthy wait, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster just secured its release date. Konami says it’s heading to Switch on March 6, 2025.

We’ve been waiting to see when exactly Suikoden I & II HD Remaster would be launching. Nearly a year ago, Konami delayed it to an unspecified date. While it still has a number of months to go, fans at least know when they can get their hands on the upcoming Switch title.
