Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is riddled with issues on Nintendo Switch but developer Rabbit & Bear has said it’s aware of the problems and addressing them as a “maximum priority.”
Following the game’s launch on April 23, 2024, players complained of myrid bugs and performance issues in the Switch version of Hundred Heroes including a major progression glitch that stopped a key character being recruited.
Rabbit & Bear has said its day-one patch for the single-player role-playing game has addressed several problems, but the recruitment bug is still present. This, alongside another progression bug that blocks entry into War Mode, will be fixed in the upcoming Version 1.0.4 patch. Rabbit & Bear said this update is “nearing completion”, but failed to announce a release date.
“We are aware of issues surrounding the current version of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on the Nintendo Switch and we’re addressing them as a maximum priority,” the developer said. “We are diligently researching technical improvements for Switch performance issues, aiming to release this patch at the earliest possible opportunity.”
The day one patch, Version 1.0.3, addresses progression issues, graphic display glitches, game balance adjustments, refinement of localised text, backer content, game system bugs, optimisation issues, and poor stability according to Rabbit & Bear.
Eiyuden Chronicle is the spiritual successor to Suikoden, one of the most beloved role-playing game series of all time, originally releasing in 1995 for the PlayStation. A smaller entry called Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was released in 2022 as the first in the franchise and a pseudo prequel to Hundred Heroes.
