About the 108 Stars

What is Suikoden Star Leap?

Star Leap is KONAMI's new free-to-play role-playing game about rebuilding a burned village, recruiting allies, and entering a conflict larger than one home. Its official name is Suikoden STAR LEAP. It keeps the series' defining 108-companion idea while combining expressive pixel characters with dimensional backgrounds, timeline-based command battles, large-scale War Mode encounters, and a village that develops as more people join.

Set in Solar Year 453, Suikoden Star Leap follows a young hero whose lakeside home, east of the Scarlet Moon Empire, is attacked by unknown enemies. He leaves with Hisui, Shirin, and Shapur to restore the village, then meets figures such as Odessa, Flik, and Viktor as imperial oppression comes into view. The premise is new, but it occupies a specific place in established series history.

Suikoden Star Leap is a new entry in KONAMI's role-playing series and its first adventure designed around mobile play. KONAMI and MYTHRIL are credited as developers on Steam, with KONAMI as publisher, and a PC edition is planned through Steam.

The central idea remains recognizably Suikoden. A personal disaster grows into political struggle, people from different backgrounds gather around a shared home, and recruitment changes what that home can provide. The Rune of Change, one of the world's 27 True Runes, anchors a story built around 108 new stars.

This is not a remake. Evolved pixel characters move through dimensional locations, while the Solar Year 453 setting lets an original cast meet younger versions of familiar people. New players can enter through the village crisis; returning players can recognize the Scarlet Moon Empire and the future Liberation Army without needing that history to follow the opening goal.

Field notes

How the journey changes your party and village

Rebuild the village in Star Leap

The destroyed lakeside village is more than a story objective. Recruiting allies helps rebuild and expand it, unlocking facilities and functions that support the journey. At Chloe's Item Shop, players spend potch on materials and consumables, with stock refreshed daily. At Yua's Kitchen, ingredients earned through minigames can be used for group meals. Those meals deepen bonds and can unlock new character skills.

This creates a loop familiar to Suikoden fans: explore, meet people, bring them home, then discover how their work changes the base. Star Leap ties the growing community to practical progression rather than treating recruitment as a list alone.

The base also connects otherwise separate activities. Fish, vegetables, minerals, shop goods, bounty rewards, meals, bonds, and learned abilities all have a stated use. That makes returning to the village part of the adventure loop, not merely a pause between story chapters. Newly unlocked facilities should be checked by function rather than judged only as decorative upgrades.

Explore, help people, and gather resources

Towns and field areas can be explored freely for treasure chests, items, and unexpected discoveries. Some allies are found through main-story progress, while others are connected to exploration. Residents can also request help, including item deliveries and monster hunts.

Star Leap adds smaller activities around that journey. Fishing locations contribute catches to a fish encyclopedia. Vegetable harvesting asks the player to protect crops by identifying the creatures causing damage. Mining provides minerals used to strengthen weapons and armor. These activities feed materials and ingredients back into village and character development.

Exploration matters because recruitment and resources are placed in the world, not only inside menus. Checking side paths can reveal chests or items, while requests give townspeople concrete problems to solve. The official pages do not publish a complete map or recruitment checklist, so specific locations and conditions should be verified chapter by chapter.

A place in the chronicle

Where Star Leap fits in the story timeline

  1. A later world moves toward imperial conflict

    KONAMI's first English announcement places the new adventure a couple of years after the fifth numbered game.

  2. The lakeside village is attacked

    The Hero begins rebuilding it with Hisui, Shirin, and Shapur after mysterious enemies force residents to flee.

  3. The Scarlet Moon Empire enters view

    The group encounters Odessa, Flik, Viktor, Humphrey, and other people connected to the coming Liberation Army era.

  4. A bridge into familiar history

    The placement gives Suikoden Star Leap room for a complete new 108 Stars story while showing people and tensions known from later events.

What is still unknown

Several important Star Leap details remain unconfirmed outside Japan. Silence is not confirmation, and old store placeholders do not replace a current KONAMI notice.

  • The global iOS and Android release date
  • The Steam release date and unlock time
  • The final global mobile language package
  • Final mobile and PC system requirements
  • Whether regional prices, banners, rewards, or save systems will match
  • Any version for PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch

How Star Leap facts are checked

KONAMI pages establish the story, systems, platforms, and business model. Apple, Google Play, and Steam listings establish current availability, while dated announcements establish what changed. If those sources provide no date, requirement, or rule, the detail stays marked unknown. Time-sensitive entries show a checked date.

Community reports can raise useful questions and document early Japan-build observations, but they do not override official platform status. Gacha values, account behavior, optimal teams, and chapter-specific recruitment conditions need version labels and fresh in-game confirmation.
