Konami revealed the first teaser visual for Suikoden: The Anime, along with confirming a 2026 release date. The anime was previously announced in March as an adaptation of Suikoden II, along with a new mobile game for the franchise.
The company’s recently-established in-house studio KONAMI animation is handling the animation production, with Yuzo Sato as the director. Steam describes the story of the second game:
Our story’s hero and his friend Jowy are members of the Unicorn Youth Brigade, which participated in a drawn-out border dispute between the Highland Kingdom and the City-States of Jowston .
A few months earlier, a truce agreement was signed between the two forces, both of which were happy to see an end to the fighting.
However, hidden under the momentary peace the fires of a new war continued to smolder…
The new visual features the game’s protagonist alongside Jowy, and you can check it out below.
