At TGS 2022, Konami announced an HD remaster of the first Suikoden game, Genso Suikoden. The original game came out in 1995 on the 32-bit Playstation console. However, and contrary to other Konami games, this JRPG never found its way to PC.
In order to celebrate this announcement, Konami has aired the game’s announcement trailer. Konami also showcased this HD remaster during a special event. From what we could see, the game retains its 2D sprites.
Although Konami has not revealed the platforms for which this HD remaster will come out, we can assume that it will be also coming to PC.
Enjoy its announcement trailer below and stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Konami has launched the Steam page for Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. As such, Konami will be offering HD remasters of both Suikoden 1 and Suikoden 2.

When it aired the TGS 2022 trailer during its event, there weren’t any. That’s why there is a big update at the end of the article.
Many people say Suikoden is their favourite RPG series and I haven’t played it yet. Now I’ll have a chance to play these games. 🙂
Suikoden 1 and 2 are personal favorites among CLASSIC rpg (16 bits style++…while on PS1) lovers
I hope it’s not too difficult because I usually play FPS games and I’m not too good at RPG’s.
I want to play a classic RPG with a great story because I don’t like the look of some of the new RPG games with half-dressed female characters looking like wifus.
A modern RPG I really enjoyed was Ni No Kuni II. Fun story and not too difficult.
Those are not really difficult games, you just have to level your characters sometimes, when you are in a new area with stronger ennemies.
This is more challenging than most Final Fantasy games though, I remember some boss being a bit challenging, with strong magics reducing half of every characters life sometimes. You just have to be prepared well and have some healers in your team !
I don’t mind a bit of grinding to level up my characters. I guess I have to check the game out 🙂
If you are looking for great story, those are essential !
Surely you mean another excuse to play these? emulating psx games is quite easy.
You’re right. Old PSX games look great in Duckstation for example. I still love coming back to the old Resident Evil 2 & 3 and MGS.
I’m hoping the team responsible for the remaster is going to do the game justice.
I want to experience the best version of Suikoden 1 & 2.
Good news, cos they were amongst the best RPGs in the 90s.
I wish we had Saturn remasters though. Especially when you consider that 75% of the Sega Saturn games never left Japan.
it seems sh*t game
I like Suikoden as much as the next person, but, does anyone really think Konami is going to handle this properly? 😀 We’re talking about a company that tried to sell you $10 “save slots” in a recent game of theirs, here.
I’ll maintain my skepticism, until I have reason not to.
And it’s going to cost 60 pounds!
Use emulators, my dudes, and stop giving your money to greedy pigs!
