Kickstarter kampanja za spiritualnog Suikoden nasljednika Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesa završila je i prikupljeno je vrtoglavih $4,571,418 – što je 895% više od prvobitnog cilja ($510,735).

Kao jedna od posljednih najava je i partnerstvo sa Natsume-Atariem i radi se o “Town Creation RPG-u”. Natsume je poznat po Harvest Moon serijalu, a radio je i na pixel art igrama poput Ninja Warriors i Wild Guns.

O čemu se tu zapravo radi? Poanta je da ova mini-igra izađe prije same igre i zabavi nas uz malo micro-managementa. Sakupljeni materijali moći će se prenesti u nadolazeću igru, te je spomenuto kako će biti moguće i saznati nešto više o suigračima. Možda će biti i pokoja borba, no o implementaciji battle sustava ovdje još se raspravlja. Sve što se kreira u ovoj fazi planira se upotrijebiti kasnije, tako da je svaki razvoj asseta dobrodošao.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes izlazi za PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One i PC u 2022., a tu je i potencijalni port na Switch ili što već tada Nintendo izbaci iz rukava. Živjeli heroji JRPG baštine.
