Action RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising set to launch on May 10
Action RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, considered a prequel to the upcoming RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, is set to launch on May 10 on multiple platforms.
I was lucky enough to try the starting hours of Action RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and it was fun dungeon crawling and helping a small town that was unfortunately ravaged by different disasters. It plays differently as it’s more of an action platformer while Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the game considered a spiritual successor to the Suikoden franchise, is a turn-based RPG.
The Eiyuden Chronicle series all started with a Kickstarter campaign in 2019 where Suikoden series creator Yoshitaka Murayama is helming the project and working with those at Rabbit & Bear Studios. The campaign grew to a point that a spin-off prequel title became a reality to support the upcoming RPG.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S. Xbox One, Nintendo Switch on May 10. It will also be available through Xbox Game Pass on day one.
If you’re looking forward to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as it’s slated for a 2023 release.
Arc System Works nailed Tokon and showed once again why they are one of the best in the genre. While it’s too soon to know if this game will perfectly fill the tag team Marvel void in the fighting game community, it launched with a respectable package perfect for everyone.
