Eiyuden Chronicle will be Murayama's legacy
In a recent AMA on Reddit, the developers answered a question about a possible successor:
“We will move forward with a successor. It is very sad that Murayama is no longer with us, but we had discussed many things with him. I hope that we can continue Murayama's legacy and I always want to appreciate his final work. I hope many people will support this game.”

This question took on a lot of depth after Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator behind the Suikoden series, recently passed away unexpectedly. He succumbed to complications from an ongoing illness and lived to the age of 54.
Murayama was the writer behind the upcoming Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes as well as the head of Rabbit & Bear Studio. Sadly, he can no longer see how his latest and final work is received by players. However, he had incorporated the soul of the “Suikoden” series into the new game.
The players take on the role of the village boy Nowa, who is looking for an artifact. This is intended to expand the power of the rune lenses. These house magic that the Galdean Empire wants to claim for itself. And in the past, the wars over these rune lenses had already changed the fate of Allraan.

These include humans, beastmen, elves, desert people and more.
