Suikoden fans will be happy to know that the Suikoden VI may soon be a reality. Or at least, it may soon be an actual product as suggested by several recent clues. Clues that point to a new Suikoden possibly being announced at the TGS 2009.
These clues started with Konami registering a US trademark for the name “Genso Suikoden” (which is the Japanese name for the series). After this, Blue Moons Studio, a Japanese company founded by the creator of the Suikoden series (Yoshitaka Murayama) announced that he was working on a new RPG. But didn’t give a name or title for it. Which means it could be a new Suikoden.
Then in an interview, Muryama said that he could consider returning to Konami to make another Suikoden. The last clue is the fact that Konami is planning on announcing no less than five new games at TGS 09. Meaning that one of these could possibly be Suikoden 6.
The series hasn’t been seen in America since Suikoden V was released for the PS2 back in 2006. Although there was a DS title, Suikoden Tierkreis, that released in December of last year, but it was a spin-off and not a core game in the series.
And since Suikoden does have a cult following, there is a chance that Konami may return to it. It’s all rumor for now though. We’ll just have to wait and see. But I’m sure Suikoden fans everywhere have their fingers crossed.
