New Suikoden anime trailer shows off a sharp look for the classic RPG adaptation

Konami dropped a second trailer for the Suikoden anime adaptation, and it's looking polished. The show is set to premiere later in 2026.

The trailer was revealed around Anime Expo 2026, where several other high-profile anime announcements landed — including new looks at Ghost in the Shell and Black Clover season 2. The Suikoden anime joins a wave of classic game IP getting the animation treatment.

Suikoden is a long-running Konami RPG series that debuted in 1995, known for its large casts of recruitable characters and political storytelling. The franchise went dormant for years before Konami revived interest with the HD remaster Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars in 2023. An anime adaptation is a natural next step for a series with a devoted fanbase that never stopped asking for more.

No episode count or streaming platform has been confirmed in the source, but with a premiere window later this year, more details should surface soon.
