Ahead of the release of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes later this year, developers Rabbit & Bear Studio have seemingly confirmed they will be working on a sequel.

This news comes from a Reddit AMA where the team was asked if the recent passing of Suikoden creator and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes scenario writer Yoshitaka Murayama had impacted plans for a potential follow-up to the game. In their response, Rabbit & Bear Studio said they would be “moving forward” with a sequel in the hopes they could carry on his legacy.

“We are moving forward with a sequel. It is very sad that Murayama is not with us anymore, but we have discussed many things with him. I hope we will be able to carry on Murayama’s legacy, and I always want to treasure his last work. I hope many people will support this game.”

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes April 23rd for Switch worldwide.
