Hello everyone,
Its with a heavy heart and deep sadness we must inform you that the scenario writer and head of Rabbit & Bear Studios, Yoshitaka Murayama, has passed away on February 6th due to complications with an ongoing illness.

Murayama first began this journey of the creation of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in 2020 through the support of his very loving fans on Kickstarter. Throughout the three-plus-year-development of the game, it was always the passion from his fans that continued to drive his creative vision and motivate him to put his all into the project.

His hard work on Eiyuden Chronicle as scenario writer was finished but as his co-workers and friends, it saddens us to know that he wont get to see the reactions from his fans.

However, even with those feelings we need to accept the reality that he is no longer with us and continue to push his dream forward by releasing Eiyuden Chronicle to the world.

We want to maintain his legacy and vision with this game and know that he would have wanted the rich world he has created with Eiyuden Chronicle to live on.

His family sincerely appreciates your prayers and support but asks for privacy and that no flowers, mail, or other offerings be sent.

We will have more information on organizational changes to Rabbit & Bear as well as changes to some of the Kickstarter rewards in the near future.

For now, we appreciate your continued support.

Rabbit & Bear Studios,
Junko Kawano

I'm utterly shocked

He was still relatively young...

I jumped on Eiyuden Kickstarter on his name alone, he created my favorite video game series of all time. And I was hopeful someday after Eiyuden succeeded, he'd be given the chance to finish the Suikoden story w/ 6. And that I'd eventually meet the brilliant storyteller that inspired me so much.

And I now see there was another topic already. My apologies, I tried searching by his name and Eiyuden and nothing showed up.
