Legendary Game Studio Founder's Death Won't Stop Eiyuden Chronicle Sequel

The gaming community is eagerly anticipating the release of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, a role-playing game (RPG) developed by Rabbit & Bear Studios and published by 505 Games. The game is scheduled to launch on April 23, across multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The heartfelt passion behind Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is palpable as the developers at Rabbit & Bear Studios have pledged to carry on the legacy of their late founder, Yoshitaka Murayama, who passed away on February 6, 2024. Murayama, known for his scenario writing in the Suikoden series, had a significant role in shaping Eiyuden Chronicle, promoting a classic JRPG experience with a strategic approach to inventory management and save point locations. Despite his absence, the developers are committed to continuing his vision, with a promise to the fans that another sequel is on the horizon.

How will Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes handle inventory management and save points?

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will feature a limited inventory capacity, requiring strategic management of items. Additionally, saves can only be made at inns and specific points in dungeons, adding a layer of challenge and preparation that was envisioned by the game's late co-founder, Yoshitaka Murayama.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a spiritual successor to the beloved Suikoden series and was funded through a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. The game promises a deep story, turn-based combat, and a vast world to explore. Fans of the genre and the Suikoden series are hopeful that Eiyuden Chronicle will reignite the classic JRPG flame, offering an experience that blends nostalgia with modern gameplay advancements.
