The Eiyuden Chronicle franchise games are slated for 2022 and 2023 release windows, as revealed during the Xbox E3 showcase. 505 Games, Rabbit & Bear Studios and Microsoft will release Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising in 2022, followed by Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in 2023.
“We’ve been working hard on the Eiyuden Chronicle franchise and love to see the amazing reactions from fans following our trailer at the Microsoft E3 event. We’re telling a rich story with the Eiyuden Chronicle franchise, so much so that we couldn’t possibly tell it all within the confines of a single game. We set out to solve that problem with our companion game Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising which features key backstory to the main game and a completely different gameplay style.”
Yoshitaka Murayama, Studio Lead
You might recognize the name from Suidoken I & II, with Yoshitaka having been one of the former key developers of the Suikoden series. He teams up with Osamu Komuta (director) to take you a journey through the world of Allraan. The games will be available on PS4, PS5,Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S – by extension Xbox Game Pass – and PC via Steam / Epic Games Store.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is the first entry in the franchise and a companion game to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that is set in the same world and tells the pre-war tales of various characters who will appear in the main game. The action-RPG melds key backstory with fast-paced combat, town-building mechanics and 2.5D platforming, and is set to release in 2022.
In Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes Rabbit & Bear Studios are taking the turn-based strategy game experience to the next level with a fine crafted six-character battle system. The developers are using meticulously created 2D sprites and 3D backgrounds to deliver a riveting story with over 100 playable characters and engaging gameplay that’s meant to bring players a modern take on classic JRPGs.
