In a recent announcement that may disappoint fans of the classic JRPG series, Konami has revealed that the Suikoden 1 and 2 remastered will be delayed past the end of this year. The franchise first launched on the original PlayStation in 1995, and has since seen four sequels and numerous spin-offs.

In all these years, the series still has a loyal fan base, and Suikoden 2 tops Konami's list of the best games for PS1. So, it's no surprise that many gamers have been looking forward to remasters of the first few titles.

This Suikoden remaster was announced last year, and in early 2023, Konami showed gameplay clips for Suikoden 1 and 2. The titles have never been given a firm release date, but since the first reveal, developer and publisher Konami have consistently stated that they plan to release it in 2023. Now, it seems these plans have changed.

In an announcement on August 29, posted on both Twitter and the game's official website, Konami made it clear to fans that the Suikoden 1 and 2 remastered will be delayed. The message was brief and relatively minimal in information, stating only that the decision was taken "to ensure a quality performance and gaming experience" met Konami's standards.

While praising the performance of the development team, Konami emphasized that they needed a bit more time to make sure things were running well before release.

The announcement also lacked concrete information about a new release date. It's clear that gamers won't be getting Suikoden 1 and 2 this year, but there's no indication of when Konami plans to release them, or even if they already have new dates in mind. The message promises that more details will be forthcoming in the future, but for now, fans will have to speculate.

This news will definitely leave some passionate fans feeling frustrated, but it's also quite understandable. The games in the series are huge, with two Suikoden games making the list of Konami's longest games of all time. Updating all the content from the PS1 era and bringing it up to HD quality may be a Herculean task and, even with a dedicated team, could take longer than initially expected.

JRPG fans will likely have to wait a little longer to experience these two classics again, and will definitely be keeping an eye out for future developments.

Luckily, there are plenty of other JRPGs to enjoy while you wait for this game. With a little patience and help from some other classics, gamers should be able to hold out until Konami finally releases it.

Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster will be released for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One and currently does not have a release date.
