Konami reveals Suikoden I & II HD Remaster update plans including quality of life features, Rune fixes, & more

Konami has announced plans to update Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars for consoles and PC platforms to cover bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and more. 

While a timeframe has not been announced, it is good to see a few of the notable quality of life features highlighted like option to not have the music speed up when using the double speed function. Konami will also add a way to quit the game on PC. It is baffling that this has still not been addressed, but the remainder of the details go into some of the issues relating to using Runes with healing effects, freezing, and more. 

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is set to release on March 6 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). Check out our review here, my PC port feature here, our Suikoden walkthrough here, our Suikoden II walkthrough here, and our other guides here.
