Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes[1] is an upcoming 2024 role-playing video game being developed by Rabbit and Bear Studios and published by 505 Games. It is directed and produced by Yoshitaka Murayama, creator of Konami's Suikoden series, and has been cited as a spiritual successor.

Development and release

The development of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is led by Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of the Suikoden video game series by Konami. Murayama had directed Suikoden and Suikoden II during his time at Konami, but left the company in 2002 shortly before the release of Suikoden III.

The fundraising campaign for the Eiyuden Chronicle project was conducted through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.[2] The campaign exceeded all of the original stretch goals and met its base funding requirements after surpassing $500,000 within 3 to 4 hours on July 27, 2020.[3] It ultimately raised $4,541,481 with 46,307 backers, making it the third highest funded video game in Kickstarter history behind Shenmue III and Bloodstained.[4]

Hundred Heroes was featured at E3 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and was originally slated to be released worldwide in October 2022 before being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The game was then set for a 2023 release,[6] but was delayed to 2024.[7] It was later confirmed to release on April 23, during their presentation on the September 2023 Nintendo Direct.[8] A prologue, Eiyuden Chronicle, was released for the same platforms in May 2022.
