Years after its last game, Grasshopper Manufacture will release Romeo is a Dead Man, a new action-adventure packed with the usual Goichi Suda weirdness. Case in point, the latest trailer, which highlights the combat. Check it out below.
Despite some semblance to No More Heroes, there’s a greater variety of weapons, from a massive two-hander to a blade staff that splits in two. Romeo can also use gauntlets, a gun (which unleashes charged shots), a beam rifle, and much more. A lot is going on, so beware of sensory overload.
Romeo is a Dead Man launches in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It follows Romeo, recruited by the Space-Time Police to apprehend criminals with the help of the Deadgear. Along with upgrading and modifying weapons, he absorbs the blood of his enemies to channel the powerful Bloody Summer attack. Check out more extensive gameplay, which includes boss fights and puzzles, here.
This trailer for “Romeo is a Dead Man” looks intriguing! It’s exciting to see Grasshopper Manufacture back in action, and the variety of weapons and combat styles seems promising. Looking forward to seeing more about the game!
I agree, the trailer definitely sparks interest! The blend of bloody combat and diverse weaponry seems like it could lead to some really unique gameplay mechanics. I’m curious to see how they balance the action with storytelling, especially given Grasshopper’s creative history.
