The Tokyo Game Show 2022 has treated us to more great news courtesy of Konami today, with the announcement that Suikoden 1 and 2 will be getting HD remasters for Xbox One in 2023! You can check out the trailer above.
First released on the PS1 on the late '90s, both games are getting some notable improvements for this HD collection, including updated effects, new environmental sounds, a new auto-save system, the ability to fast-forward battles, a conversation log, HD battle SFX and of course, all background illustrations also being upgraded to HD.
There's no definite date yet for this collection, but we know it's definitely dropping next year.
A hero's destiny is written in the Stars. The legendary Konami JRPGs Suikoden I and Suikoden II have now been remastered in HD!
Will you be dropping back into Suikoden on Xbox next year? Let us know in the comments below.

Yusss Konami! Respect for not ghosting Xbox.
Rare Konami Dub
Remember when Konami made new games?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
This is pretty good news, though.
A masterpiece. Thanks, Konami, thanks.
And still people write today that Japanese publishers don't support Xbox because "the developers themselves don't want the games on Xbox because they are not keen on Xbox" and it's not Sony paying for "temporary" exclusivity (Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Forspoken...). Good to have all these Japanese games joining Xbox, whether they are big or small.
Pretty good chance I’ll be picking these up! Great games. Haven’t beat either, but I have put some good hours into both.
@SplooshDmg Oh, just go play your PC sploosh lol
@SplooshDmg These weren't playable on steam already? I woulda thought they would have been by now.
konami is back and with SUIKODEN! biggest surprise this year
This is freaking incredible!!!! I-I'm speechless. I cannot wait for these. Will be picking up the second they release. Might even take the day off work too (just like all those years ago when I played these as an irresponsible teenager!)
Disappointed there is no mention of 3-5...
I will still be definitively buying this for sure (although most likely on Switch since, you know, portability... come on XBox, announce already the ability to stream games we buy digitally!!)
@SplooshDmg Konami better give me a new Castlevania. That's a top 3 all time franchise for me. Lots of nostalgia. and it's been dismissed.
Definitely interested in this
Funny thing is, last night I was thinking there are some games XBox needs to get on board, older games to be specific. Mostly JRPGs but this was on the list. My list so far:
•Atelier series
•Digimon (Survive is coming to Xbox, would be nice to see older entries come too, though)
•Disgaea
•Dragon Quest (we got XI and XII is coming for Xbox I think, but would be nice to get the older games aboard)
•Legends Of Heroes: The Trails Series
•Lunar Silver Star Story
•Grandia (recently remastered and sold on everything but Xbox... 😔)
•Ni No Kuni (we got the first and second incoming, yay!)
•Rune Factory (at least get us up to par with switch releases: 4,5 and the upcoming 3 remaster)
•Shin Megami Tensei (we got persona, lets get proper SMT!!!)
•Suikoden series (all of it)
•Tales of (we got some but we need more!)
Would be nice to get NIS games on board. So far the only games they have ever put on Xbox are R-Type Final2 and La Mulana 1&2.
OH and it would not hurt to get a sequel to both, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey.
For the sake of conversation, anyone else has any obvious highlights? (not including Sony/Nintendo first party games, of course.)
Oh my god, Suikoden 2, actually one the most expensive games to get now on PlayStation 1, coming to Xbox. It's a good time to be alive!
This sort of thing is why I wish cross platform saves existed. I want to buy on Xbox to support these types of games but I think Switch is the better platform for them and would love to be able to jump between them.
This is awesome!
Day one purchase for me. This was my favorite RPG on the PS one.
@Tharsman I just want stuff we’ve got to continue to come. Unfortunately that’s in the air to. :/
@J_Mo_Money don’t encourage @SplooshDmg it’s dangerous
@mousieone he can't help himself!
@Tharsman Lunar and Grandia! Excellent call outs!! I wish they'd also bring Wild Arms and all of the Valkyrie Profile series (including the new one) over to Xbox.
@SplooshDmg @J_Mo_Money see this is why. Who knows what he’ll do now.
@Grail_Quest I intentionally didn’t mention Wild Arms because I thought it was a Sony IP but looking at the wiki seems the weird had tons of publishers, so no clue who owns it. I would definitively like to play Wild Arma again, outside of an emulator, ideally with modern widescreen screen support.
@Tharsman Honestly, after the ghastly PSP remake of Silver Star Story, I just hope Lunar is left alone. Even if a remaster preserved the story pacing and dungeon design of the PS1 original, it'd still probably lack Working Designs' charming localization.
@Ralizah /em Puts on super nerd glasses
I think you mean, Sega CD original. 🤓
But yes, I want the PS1 remaster, although I never played the PSP version and have no clue what is different on it.
I’ve played all but tactics. One of my favorite series. 1 was by far the best, and 2 just barely a half step behind. Great series!!!
