The highly anticipated Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes RPG, a collaborative project by 505 Games and Rabbit & Bear Studios, has announced a delay in its release from 2023 to the second quarter of 2024. The decision was made to “ensure the best possible story” and “best game experience.” The game will be available on various platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic, and GOG.
Having become the third-most funded game on Kickstarter, impressively surpassing its US$509,713 goal within just three hours of launching in July 2020, Eiyuden Chronicle’s campaign raised a whopping 481,621,841 Yen (US$4,571,418).
Stretch goals were met, promising a companion town-creation RPG by Natsume-Atari at the final destination of US$4.5 million. Fans now have higher expectations as 505 Games and Rabbit & Bear Studios promise an unforgettable gaming experience when Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes finally hits the market in 2024.
Rabbit and Bear Studios, in a statement, claimed that this decision was made to deliver an exceptional gaming experience that lives up to the immense support received from fans, and so they have decided to revise the release date of the game.
Now slated for Calendar Year Q2 of 2024, this delay will allow the team to present the best possible story. While the anticipation might be challenging, the promise of a truly enjoyable game makes the wait all the more worthwhile.
