For anyone that hasn’t played the original games, Suikoden 1 and 2 HD‘s Steam page shares what each game is about.
“A once renowned hero turns into a violent tyrant, and an empire falls into decline,” reads a description for Suikoden 1. “A Liberation Army is rising up in an act of rebellion against an oppressive rule.”
Meanwhile, the second Suikoden follows “Our story’s hero and his friend Jowy [as] members of the Unicorn Youth Brigade, which participated in a drawn-out border dispute between the Highland Kingdom and the City-States of Jowstown.”

“A few months earlier, a truth agreement was signed between the two forces, both of which were happy to see an end to the fighting,” continues Suikoden 2‘s description. “However, hidden under the momentary peace the fires of a new war continued to smoulder…”
Beyond coming in 2023, a specific release date for Suikoden 1 and 2 HD is yet to be announced.
In other gaming news, Xbox head Phil Spencer has shared that there are “definitely” no plans to raise pricing on the Xbox Series X|S at this time.
