Now, however, it looks like they might be looking into the possibility of bringing the game to the Switch itself. In a recent Kickstarter update ahead of the launch of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising – a prequel that is coming to the Switch and will lead into Hundred Heroes – Rabbit and Bear has confirmed that it is undergoing “a technical investigation” that’s looking into a possible Nintendo Switch version.

“While the release of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has not been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, we are currently undergoing a technical investigation into development for a Switch version of the game,” the developer says.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that a Switch version has been confirmed. The investigation could result in the developer deciding that bringing the RPG to the current Nintendo platform isn’t possible (or worth the investment, perhaps). Either way, Rabbit and Bear says that if you play Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising on the Switch, you will be able to enjoy all of its crossover content in Hundred Heroes regardless of which Nintendo platform it ends up releasing on.

“If you purchase Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising for the Nintendo Switch, then you will be able to enjoy the crossover content in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on any Nintendo console version confirmed in the future,” the developer says.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is out today on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, meanwhile, is set to launch next year for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

At the recent Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 Showcase, the game took the stage and announced itself to the world in a more mainstream capacity. Showing off its characters, its world, its combat, and more, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is looking exactly like the sort of game that Suikoden fans have been craving for so long.

But that’s not all. Developer Rabbit and Bear has also announced Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, which will launch before Hundred Heroes. It will serve as an introduction to the world and series and provide backstory for its successor, and feature action-RPG combat along with town-building mechanics. Check out both games in action below.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising will launch in 2022, and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will launch in 2023. Both games will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
