Since the launch of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in late April, some versions of the game have been plagued by quite a few bugs, including one that prevented a key character from being recruited on Switch. Now, after development team Rabbit & Bear prioritized fixing the game's bugs in April, the game's biggest patch yet is now out.
Today, in a post on Twitter/X, the team behind Eiyuden Chronicle announced the game's latest patch, which resolves quite a few major problems that sparked player complaints, including issues with story progression and a bug where time spent with support characters wasn't properly counted. The patch is now available on all platforms.

Led by Suikoden series creator Yoshitaka Murayama before his death, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has been deemed a spiritual successor to Suikoden, the beloved 1990s RPG series. We gave Hundred Heroes a 7 in our review, saying it "mostly succeeds in weaving the stories of multiple countries and characters together into a sprawling epic" despite a slow start.
