Shimizu began the manga adaptation of the new game in November 2025.

Konami released the game in Japan on August 7 for iOS and Android. Its English X/Twitter account has yet to announce a release date outside Japan. The global version will also arrive on PC through Steam.

The game’s story falls between Suikoden V and the first Suikoden game.

The official website’s synopsis introduces the Rune of Change, one of the 27 True Runes said to have created the world. The story opens in a lakeside village east of the vast Scarlet Moon Empire.

One night, the hero, village chief Hou’s son, returns after succeeding on his first hunt. Celebrations fill the village, and its people look forward with hope. An attack then changes the village’s fate in an instant.

The hero sets out with Hisui, Shirin, and Shapur to bring peace back to their village. Swept into destiny’s powerful currents, his small adventure grows into a greater ambition, undertaken for someone precious.
