It has been fairly some time since Grasshopper Manufacture put out a very authentic recreation, virtually a decade in reality, with 2016’s Let It Die. Since then there’s been a pair No More Heroes, however throughout a presentation held final night time from some firm I’ve by no means heard of, PlayStation I believe it was, the developer revealed one thing wholly new: Romeo Is A Dead Man. This was simply my private spotlight due to how balls to the wall silly it seems, nevertheless it was lacking an essential factor generally known as a launch date that quite a lot of different video games really featured for as soon as. And that is virtually undoubtedly as a result of Grasshopper is a bit anxious about GTA 6.
“At this level, our growth workforce is working at full drive to get this factor completed,” govt director and studio founder Goichi “Suda51” Suda mentioned in a press launch. “Again within the day, this is able to’ve been proper across the time when employees members began bringing in sleeping luggage to remain in a single day within the studio, however these days we make it possible for everybody will get sufficient time to relaxation and refresh correctly. I’ll always remember the craziness of working all night time in a frenzy again in our salad days, receiving warning mails for doing an excessive amount of extra time (this really occurred).”
When requested immediately about why Romeo Is A Lifeless Man has a launch window as imprecise as 2026, Suda51 fairly plainly mentioned “That’s kinda apparent, isn’t it? That One Recreation had its launch date introduced, proper? Each writer desires to ensure to keep away from That One Recreation’s launch date. However what if we have been to flex just a little and launch it on the identical day… Yeah, nope — simply fascinated about that’s means too scary. Alright then, goodbye.”
Yeah, that every one seems like Suda51 alright. Romeo Is A Lifeless Man actually seems like one among his video games too. It follows the titular Romeo, an FBI Area-Time particular agent (positive!) whose grandfather makes use of some fancy tech to cease him from dying, so he is in a relentless state of being between life and dying.
As him you may go looking for fugitives throughout a number of universes, slicing them up in impeccable gory vogue with a giant ole sword. It’s undoubtedly a future 7/10 within the making, and I could not be extra thrilled.
