In 2020, one of Suikoden's development crew left Konami and named a new studio called Rabbit & Bear, founded by some of the key creative minds behind the classic PlayStation-era roleplaying series, including Yoshitaka Murayama, director and writer on the first two "Suikoden" games, and the creative team also includes Junko Kawano, the lead artist on "Suikoden 1" and "4"; Junichi Murakami, art director on "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow"; "Suikoden Tactics" director Osamu Komuta; and composers Motoi Sakuraba and Michiko Naruke. Murayama directed to a Suikoden follow-up game called "Eiyuden Chronicle", slated to release worldwide on 2022.
