A new trailer for Suikoden: The Anime appeared confirming the release date for the series in Japan. It will start airing on October 3, 2026. As a reminder, the Suikoden anime skips past the first game and instead adapts the second game in the RPG series. There’s no worldwide streaming home for the series confirmed yet.
People will have to wait a bit longer for the second episode, which will appear on October 13, 2026. Each episode after that will release on a weekly basis every Tuesday. The first episode of the series will run for 60 minutes as a special release for the premiere. We don’t know how long the rest of the episodes will be, but we can expect them to be approximately 20 minutes long.
