Suikoden STAR LEAP (幻想水滸伝スターリープ, Gensōsuikoden Sutārīpu, normally rendered as 幻想水滸伝 STAR LEAP) is the upcoming sixteenth installment of the Suikoden series. It was announced at the first Suikoden Live Broadcast, March 4, 2025[1].
It will be the fourth release of a Suikoden game on mobile phones after the release of Suikoden (2008) and Suikoden II (2009) for the Konami Net DX service and Genso Suikoden Tierkreis Hoshikuzu no Shiro (2008). It will be the first RPG-style Suikoden title that has been directly developed for mobile platforms.
It will be the first original Suikoden game release since Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki in 2012 as well as the first original title set in the "main" Suikoden setting since 2006's Suikoden V.
Gameplay
As the first mobile game of the series, Suikoden STAR LEAP adapts the gameplay style of the first two Suikoden games to a portable format.
From the preview presented in the Suikoden Live Broadcast, it appears that this title will feature a 6-men party, like most of Suikoden games.
It has also been confirmed that there will be base building as players restore their village, and 108 new Stars of Destiny will be recruitable through the story, with additional characters from outside the story via gacha.
Plot Overview
Suikoden STAR LEAP starts on a village on the shore of a lake to the east of the Scarlet Moon Empire. One night, our hero, son of the village chief Hou, comes back home successful from his first hunt. The village is filled with celebration and brimming with hope for the coming days, but an assault is launched, and the fate of the village is changed in an instant.
Along with allies such as his maid Hisui, Shirin, and Shapur, the hero embarks on a journey to restore peace to the village.
In the midst of the great whirlpool of destiny, the Hero's small adventure turns into a large ambition.
The story will revolve around the Rune of Change, one of the 27 True Runes. The game's main plot is confirmed to be set in SY 453, two years before the events of Suikoden and three years after the end of Suikoden V[2].
Characters from previous Suikoden games like Flik, Humphrey, Odessa, or Viki may appear as cameos, and places in the Scarlet Moon Empire like Gregminster, Lenankamp, or Rockland will be visitable. Other characters mentioned to appear in some form are Nina and Leonardo, as well as Alen and Glenshiel.
Gacha
Shinya Fujimatsu (Producer) "There are events and gacha as well, but think of them as additions." (speculation) This implies that even though the story may skip around the timeline and include characters from previous games, to recruit characters from previous games this will need to be done via events and/or gacha mechanics.
Music
Campanula is the main theme of Suikoden STAR LEAP. Japanese musician Nakamura Kaho wrote, composed, and sang the song, which is said to be based on the character of Hisui.
