Konami has announced in the latest issue of Famitsu that the next Suikoden will be heading to the Nintendo DS. It has also dished out a few plot and character details.

Genso Suikoden Tierkreis begins with a momentous battle between the 108 Stars of Destiny and a (as of yet unnamed) foe, who brings them to their knees, leaving only four remaining Stars. Players will take on the role of a young lad from the village of Shitoro, whose job is to fight off monsters and bandits. Not much is known about how the young hero becomes involved with the 108 Stars, though, as always, players will get to hunt for them. Parties will consist of four characters. Character classes will have a key role in battle as those of the same type will be able to combine their attacks for special magical or weapons-based combos.

The game is reported as being 50% complete. As of yet, there’s no word on a release date or a North American release.
