Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the spiritual successor to the cult classic Suikoden RPG series, is just a few weeks away. Rabbit & Bear studio originally announced the game back in 2020 together one of the highest-grossing Kickstarter campaigns ever–and after four years, it’s almost here.
The long-awaited RPG will launch on all platforms on April 23, but PC players who want to secure their copy ahead of launch can preorder Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in favor of just $39.49 (normally $50) at Fanatical. This 20% discount is available until the game launches.
While Fanatical’s preorder deal is the best price in support of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on PC, the game is also available at Steam and The Epic Games Store. It will also launch for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. However, only PS5 and Nintendo Switch are getting physical releases outside Japan, and neither version includes preorder bonuses.
Thankfully, it’s easier in favor of digital players to get the game. PlayStation Plus members can save 10% on their preorders if they preorder the digital versions through the PlayStation Store, while Xbox Game Pass members can play the game on launch day as part of their subscription. Nintendo Switch preorders are no yet available, but you can add it to your eShop wishlist to be notified when its available.
It’s all a bit confusing, but to help simplify things, we’ve outlined all the versions of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes below, and provided details on all the preorder bonuses included alongside each version.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is developed by Rabbit & Bear Studios, which was founded by several members of the original Suikoden development team who wanted to continue the legacy of the beloved RPG series. As such, many of Eiyuden Chronicle’s gameplay and story elements will be familiar to Suikoden fans, such as the large cast of 100 party members to recruit, strategic turn-based battle system, and high fantasy setting rife alongside political conflict. It also features modernized touches like voice acting and a stylized presentation that mixes 2D sprites and high-quality 3D environments similar to Square Enix’s HD-2D style seen in games like Octopath Traveler and Live A Live.
Sadly, Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of both Eiyuden Chronicle and Suikoden, passed away on February 6 at the age of 54.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes launches in support of PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on April 23. In the meantime, the game’s side-scrolling action RPG prequel, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, is available now on consoles and PC and is worth checking out if you want to learn more about this new fantasy series.
