Publisher Announcement
When we initially announced our Kickstarter campaign, we were in talks with several publishers. It gives us great honor to announce that we will be working with the fine folks at 505 Games to release the game globally. Together with 505 Games, we will be working our hardest to deliver the game to you all at the highest possible level of quality.
Message from Murayama to the Backers
Regarding the partnership with 505 Games
We are happy to announce today that we, Rabbit & Bear Studios, have partnered with 505 Games as a publisher for the Eiyuden Chronicle project.
We will begin a relationship with them as equals, which will allow us to fully control the direction and atmosphere of the game, as well as its rights.
This was only made possible thanks to all the fans who cheered us on, supported us, and did so many things to make sure the Eiyuden Chronicle Kickstarter project ended up as a huge success. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts again, and truly feel like this is another victory for us to all celebrate together.
Thanks to this success, we are confident that we will be able to deliver Eiyuden Chronicle to you all at an even higher level of quality than we originally planned. Thank you!

The Backer Shop
We’ve got some exciting news for all of you that have been waiting for it. We finally have a preview of the post-campaign backer shop, and we’re excited to finally share it with you.
On the fulfillment website, first time pledgers will have the opportunity to pledge to the campaign. Original campaign backers (legacy) will be given access to an exclusive backer shop, where they can buy add-ons, upgrade pledges, and alter their registered information.
In order to balance the financial fulfillment risks while incentivizing the backers who have supported us during our initial campaign, there will be a few limitations.
- Prices for new backers are roughly 15-25% higher than those for legacy backers. This is largely due to the fact that the backers that pledged during the campaign are the ones that made this game possible in the first place. If you are a legacy backer, you will be able to purchase add-ons at their original campaign price.
- The Figures in the Monument tier were financially priced out as a part of a bundle. Therefore, their individual prices are somewhat high when purchased as an individual, additional item. While they may seem pricey, they are an exclusive item to this campaign, and all funds go towards the continued development of the game.
- Unfortunately, due to the complicated nature of how Job Rewards were bundled, we are unable to offer them via the fulfillment website.
- While having a publisher does allow us the opportunity to make the best game we can, sales from the backer shop go directly to the development of the game, and help lower the number of units we would need to sell in order to break even. And of course, if Eiyuden Chronicle is a financial success, that would increase the likelihood of future sequels, which is something we all want!
