Following the action-adventure hack’n’ slash’s Nintendo Switch exclusive release in August 2021, publisher XSEED Games and developer Grasshopper Manufacture has confirmed the third instalment in the No More Heroes franchise, No More Heroes III, is headed to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC (via Steam and the Windows Store) later this year. Compared to the game’s original release, this port will feature improved high-definition visuals, improved framerates and faster loading times.
In No More Heroes III, you fill the shoes of otaku protagonist Travis Touchdown once more, forced out of retirement to defend Santa Destroy, and Earth, in an intergalactic test of might while proving he’s more than just a washed up has-been who talks to his cat. Warm up those beam katanas, tighten the all-new Death Glove, and get ready to partake in outrageous boss battles against the evil Prince FU and his nine alien henchmen as Travis fights his way to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings!
XSEED Games has confirmed that North American pre-orders for the game’s Day 1 edition on all platforms are scheduled to open for pre-orders soon. This edition includes a physical copy of the game, a 5.3”x7.3” softcover art book with more than 70 pages of artwork, a sampler soundtrack CD, and a 7”x4” Santa Destroy commemorative biker license plate, all housed within a custom box featuring a new original illustration by series artist Yusuke Kozaki. Digital availability will, obviously, also be offered, with the publisher to share more information on this at a later date.
Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published in North America by XSEED Games, No More Heroes III / No More Heroes 3 is scheduled to release on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC later this year.
