Suikoden lead hopes to expand the cult JRPG series “beyond where it ended” and would happily follow Zelda to the silver screen: “If you have any friends in Hollywood, please let us know”

Konami is going big to shake Suikoden’s status as a niche-yet-beloved JRPG series. To bring it to as many people as possible, the developer is following up two remasters with a mobile game, anime, stage play, concert, and manga. And that’s just the start, as it sounds like Konami would happily do much more.

Speaking to Bloomberg, series producer Rui Naito says the multi-media push was partly made possible by fans in the Japanese anime, theater, and music industries who wanted to aid in Suikoden’s revival. In fact, had Naito encountered such a fan in Hollywood, we could have gotten even more Suikoden goodness.
