Developer Grasshopper Manufacture has unveiled its newest game during Sony’s State of Play showcase. Titled Romeo is a Dead Man, the game was unveiled with a trailer that shows off the signature insane style and sense of humour that the studio has been well-known for. The trailer also confirms that Suda51 and Ren Yamazaki had a hand in creating Romeo is a Dead Man. Check it out below.
As the trailer explains, Romeo was going to end up dead, were it not for a life saving device that was jammed into his head. Since this has happened, Romeo can now take up weapons and begin his own fight against demons. The trailer doesn’t really reveal much about the story aside from what appears to be its initial setup.
We do, however, get to see quite a few flashes of gameplay. Romeo is a Dead Man will feature a mix of melee and gun-based combat, with protagonist Romeo seemingly being able to switch between the two styles of combat on the fly. As you would expect from a game like this, there will also be plenty of combos for players to discover.
Romeo is a Dead Man is coming to PS5 in 2026.
