Eiyuden Chronicle is ‘moving forward with a sequel’ despite its creator’s death

The upcoming Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will be getting a sequel, despite the recent death of its creator.
Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of Suikoden and its spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle, passed away in February due to complications with an ongoing illness.
Murayama created the Suikoden series in the 1990s, and produced, wrote and directed the first three games in the series before leaving Konami to become a freelance developer.
In 2020, he founded Rabbit & Bear studios and launched a Kickstarter campaign for the series’ spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.
However, his passing means he was not able to live to see the game’s release, which will be on April 23 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
In a recent Reddit AMA about the game ahead of its release next week, senior members of the development team (using a single account) invited fans of the series to ask them questions.
One user asked: “What’s next for Rabbit & Bear? With the unfortunate passing of Murayama-san, are plans for a potential sequel to Eiyuden Chronicle up in the air (provided that the sales are well above or within expectations)?”
The studio replied that plans for a sequel had already been laid out by Murayama before his death, and that those plans would continue to go ahead.
“Absolutely! We are moving forward with a sequel,” it replied.
“It is very sad that Murayama is not with us anymore, but we have discussed many things with him. I hope we will be able to carry on Murayama’s legacy, and I always want to treasure his last work. I hope many people will support this game.”
Later in the session, another user asked the studio to share a memory of Murayama.
“No matter how bad Murayama’s mood or his health, he was always happy and smiling as soon as he saw the joy and excitement of his fans,” it replied. “I know that he loved you all.”

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Review
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a classic rags to riches tale, only about an entire army. I didn’t know what my team would end up looking like when I started recruiting dozens of unique characters – however, as more fighters joined my cause, from a two-faced healer with a brutish side to a magical girl with a hero complex, this unpredictable journey started to take shape. The scale of the story grew with every chapter, folding in more countries and people that would eventually turn my ragtag team into a proper battalion. That sizable cast and loads of side content can add fluff to the campaign, with half-baked elements like encounters that rely on RNG to drag things down a bit. But for anyone willing to hold out long enough, Hundred Heroes’ slow burn eventually lights into an impressive fire.
