After a year of Nintendo Switch exclusivity, Grasshopper Manufacture’sNo More Heroes 3has received an official release date for other platforms. Published by Xseed Games in North America,No More Heroes 3makes its jump to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox this October and has also debuted a brand-new trailer showcasing the game at higher frame rates and resolutions.
No More Heroesis one of Suda51’s longest-standing and most beloved franchises. The series received its first entry on the Nintendo Wii in 2007 and became an instant cult classic thanks to its irreverent and off-beat brand of humor mixed with its chaotic gameplay style. Suda51’s tongue-in-cheek action-adventure game would go quiet after releasing a sequel in 2010 before receiving its final entry in 2021 withNo More Heroes 3. In 2021 the franchise would also break from its Nintendo exclusivity by releasing its first two games and a spin-off title on all platforms. Thanks to today’s announcement, fans ofTravis Touchdownwon’t have to wait too long to complete their collection.

No More Heroes 3launches on October 11 for all PlayStation and Xbox consoles and PC via Steam. The game will feature Japanese voice acting, and breaks free from the Switch’s power limitations with faster loading times and cutscenes at a crisp 4K 60 fps.

No More Heroes 3is the final entry in the series, marking the end of Travis Touchdown’s journey to become the highest-ranked superhero in the galaxy. Despite being criticized for a few gameplay elements that bog down the overall game,No More Heroeshas a remarkable legacy. Suda51, the director behind the series, would later incorporate much of the same action and off-beat humor fromNo More HeroesintoLollipop Chainsawto great success. What’s more,Lollipop Chainsawwould inspire James Gunn’sSuicide Squadreboot and has proven popular enough to warrant a full-on remake which is currently in development.
