Konami's Suikoden and its sequel are two of the more timeless RPG experiences on the PlayStation, a console that's arguably one of the most important platforms for the genre. But for all the attention paid to many of Suikoden and Suikoden II's contemporaries via re-releases, remasters, and remakes on modern hardware, the first two entries in Konami's beloved RPG franchise seem to have mostly been relegated to the annals of history. Outside their Japan-only port to the PSP as Genso Suikoden I & II, re-releases of the first two Suikoden titles have previously only been available as PSOne Classics on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, which is what made longtime fans immediately take notice when Konami announced the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster back in 2022.
