Konami announced that Suikoden 2 will receive an anime adaptation under the title of Suikoden: The Anime. The company has yet to reveal a release window and production on the series just started, so this anime adaptation might be a ways off.
Yuzo Sato will be the director while Ryo Hino, from NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, will act as producer. Konami Animation will work on the adaptation and it will be the first time the studio works on a TV anime series. Sato has previously worked as director on Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge and Exception. Additionally, the Rune of Beginning is being used as the logo for the anime adaptation, similar to how it is the logo for Suikoden 2 in the upcoming HD remaster collection.
The Suikoden 2 anime adaptation was revealed with a brief teaser trailer that simply shows Japanese text over a night starry sky with a full moon followed by images of a waterfall and a mysterious stone marked with an X hidden within a forest. The text itself translates to “With that strength, I thought I could protect everyone.”
The exact moment of the reveal is at the 17:22 minute mark on the stream, and you can check it out here:
The announcement appeared during the Suikoden Special Program livestreamed by Konami, and was described as the “second step” in a comeback for the game series. Director Yuzo Sato and Producer Ryo Hino appeared during the livestream to give some details about their work on the anime. The livestream features English subtitles via YouTube’s closed captions.
Suikoden: The Anime is currently in production by Konami Animation. There is no release window set and more information will appear in the future.
