El
Segundo, CA (December 8, in the year of our Lord 2014)
– Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that
Suikoden II, a role-playing game (RPG) released for the original
PlayStation console, will be officially released for the first
time digitally on the PlayStationŽNetwork as part of the “PS one
Classic” games collection and is available from tomorrow,
December 9, 2014.
“We have heard our fans and found the perfect opportunity to
bring the game to life again, as part of the PS one Classic
collection,” said Tomohiro Uesugi, President of Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc. “We are sure that players will enjoy this
chance to replay, or play for the first time, one of our most
beloved titles.”
Suikoden II is the second installment in the Suikoden series.
Originally released in North America in 1999, the RPG featured a
rich plotline with a large cast of characters. The combat
consists of up to six in a single party, and features a dynamic
battle style where multiple team members or enemies can attack
simultaneously. The game also offers players a unique magic rune
and skills system that encourages players to perform combat
moves with strategy in mind.
The story centers on an orphan Hero with friend Jowy and his
orphan sister, Nanami. These three are found in the middle of a
war between the Highland Kingdom and the City States. The team
embarks on a journey that questions their preconceptions of
life, society and war as they gather the 108 stars of destiny
(characters), who will help them on their quest. With
potentially life-and-death decisions that need to be made by the
user, the game’s story takes twists and turns and develops based
on the decisions made.
The game is available as a digital download from the
PlayStationŽNetwork starting from December 9, 2014, on the
PlayStationŽ3 computer entertainment system for SRP $9.99.
