KONAMI has made waves in the gaming and anime communities with the announcement of Suikoden: The Anime, an adaptation of the beloved RPG Suikoden II. The project, helmed by director Yuzo Sato and produced by Ryo Hino of NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, marks Konami Animation‘s first foray into TV anime series production. While details are still scarce, a teaser trailer has been released, featuring the iconic Rune of Beginning as the anime’s logo and tantalizing glimpses of familiar settings from the game.

The announcement, made during the “Gensou Suikoden Live” event on March 4, 2025, is part of Konami‘s broader strategy to reinvigorate the Suikoden franchise.
