Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Opening Movies Highlight Characters 

Konami shared hints of things to come when it comes to Suikoden, as the opening movies for Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster are now live online. In each case, we get to see an animated movie highlighting major characters from the Suikoden installments, as well as locations and events. 

First, here’s the Suikoden 1 HD Remaster opening movie. It debuted on YouTube first. It begins with a look at the Soul Eater True Rune, which is the one held by Tir McDohl, the hero of the game. After that, we see Tir himself, followed by prominent Suikoden characters like Ted, Flik, Mathiu Silverberg, Pahn, Cleo, Viktor, and Gremio. We also see the castle town, antagonists, and a quick montage of portraits of the Stars of Destiny.

The Suikoden 2 HD Remaster opening movie appeared on YouTube a day later and follows the same format. Since Riou and Jowy’s stories feature so prominently, the two of them appear first in the video. This is followed by images of their True Runes, the Bright Shield Rune and Black Sword Rune. After that, we see a village aflame, a prominent point in the story, and some major characters who aren’t Stars of Destiny in Suikoden 2. Jillia Blight appears, as does her stepfather Agares Blight. At about the 1:30 mark, we start to see the Stars of Destiny show up, with Riou, Jowy, Nanami, and scenes featuring others interacting with each other.

Leading up to the rerelease of the games, we’ll see more of these familiar faces. Konami is constantly sharing details about characters on social media. 108 will be revealed leading up to launch.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is in development and the new PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch release date is March 6, 2025. The original games appeared on the PlayStation worldwide. They also appeared together in a collection on the PSP in Japan.
