We now know that Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes<\/a>, the turn-based Suikoden successor from series creator Yoshitaka Murayama, is coming to Switch thanks to a Kickstarter update back in May<\/a>. But we haven’t seen much of the game for a while except through continued monthly development updates \u2014 and in part because a prequel, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising<\/a>, launched earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

But publisher 505 Games has brought the game to this year’s Gamescom, and it’s shown off a bit more of the game, from the cutscenes to the visuals. (Thanks Gematsu<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

The new trailer gives us a look at Nowa and Seign, whose stories become intertwined after meeting during an expedition. The pixel art and animations look to be a step up from Rising, and the environment \u2014 like the misty caves and lush forests \u2014 looks gorgeous, too. You might also recognise a few characters from the game’s prequel!<\/p>\n

We’ve also got a brief summary of the game’s story, which looks to replicate the style and maturity of the Suikoden series.<\/p>\n

\n

Our story begins in one corner of Allraan, a tapestry of nations with diverse cultures and values.<\/p>\n

By dint of sword, and by way of magical objects known as \u201crune-lenses,\u201d the land\u2019s history has been shaped by the alliances and aggressions of the humans, beastmen, elves, and desert people who live there.<\/p>\n

The Galdean Empire has edged out other nations and discovered a technology that amplifies the rune-lenses\u2019 magic.<\/p>\n

Now, the Empire is scouring the continent for an artifact that will expand their power even further.<\/p>\n

It is on one such expedition that Seign Kesling, a young and gifted imperial officer, and Nowa, a boy from a remote village, meet each other and become friends.<\/p>\n

However, a twist of fate will soon drag them into the fires of war, and force them both to reexamine everything they believe to be right and true.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
