The standard edition of Eiyuden Chronicle is priced at $50 for PS5 and $60 for Nintendo Switch. Despite the price difference, the Switch version will not be available until a month after the initial release date. Alternatively, players can preorder the digital standard edition of the game for $50 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PS5, which includes the Early Bird and Headquarters Custom Object DLC. PlayStation Plus members can get a discount on the PS5 version, bringing the price down to $45 on the PSN store.

Developed by Rabbit & Bear Studios, founded by former members of the Suikoden development team, Eiyuden Chronicle aims to capture the essence of the beloved RPG series. With familiar elements like a cast of 100 party members, strategic turn-based combat, and a rich, political fantasy setting, the game promises an engaging experience for fans of the genre. Modern additions such as voice acting and stylized visuals combine 2D sprites with high-quality 3D environments, reminiscent of Square Enix’s HD-2D style.
Despite the unfortunate passing of Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of both Eiyuden Chronicle and Suikoden, the legacy of these iconic games continues with the upcoming launch of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. With various preorder options, bonuses, and platform availability, fans of the genre have a lot to look forward to when the game releases on April 23. Be sure to secure your copy in advance to experience the magic of Eiyuden Chronicle firsthand.
