Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio behind the No More Heroes franchise, seems to be counting down to some sort of an announcement.
The Japanese developer recently went live with a website that seems to be focused on celebrations of its 25th anniversary. Currently, the website consists only of one screen that proclaims, “Something’s gonna happen.” That text is accompanied by the studio’s logo, as well as a countdown.
The countdown is set for a few hours under 71 days from the time of writing, which will be 11 AM PDT on June 10. Incidentally, that is just two days after the Summer Game Fest showcase event for this year.
Back in August 2021, Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda, a.k.a. Suda51, said that the studio had as many as five games in varying stages of production. Meanwhile, in November last year, it was reported that the developer was working on a AAA survival horror game based on the Alien series. Said to be taking inspiration from the likes of Dead Space and Resident Evil, the game is allegedly due out Holiday 2023.
Grasshopper Manufacture was acquired by Chinese tech giant NetEase in October 2021.
