It was only yesterday we were reporting on the potential for the upcoming Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes to eventually hit retail with a physical release, and now the man behind it - auteur and all-round cool dude, Goichi Suda aka Suda51 - has revealed he's working on a new, as-yet-unannounced game.
The game was revealed to Famitsu in a recent interview, and while the name of the game was redacted, the interviewer's candid reaction was left as a tease in the magazine's latest issue:
Goichi Suda: “Actually, we’re also developing ●●●.”
Famitsu: “It’s finally coming! I can’t help but have expectations for it!”
So what could it be? It seems likely it's a sequel to something Suda51 has worked on previously, and considering the love Travis has received over the years, there are so many other strange and wonderful games from his CV that could be getting a new lease of life. Could it be a new Lollipop Chainsaw? Or another Shadows Of The Damned? So many possibilities.
So what do you think Suda51's game could be? What would you like to see him tackle next? Share your thoughts below...

Sounds interesting. Although, I find it amusing that the article is essentially:
"Game developer is making a game and someone is excited!"

Killer 7 Remaster?
The way it's worded, "finally coming" makes it sound like it's something expected, which makes me think No More Heroes 3.
If not, I'd love to see a Lollipop Chainsaw 2. Regardless, I'm all for new work by Suda!
EDIT: Or Killer7 Remaster, as AcridSkull suggested.
I don't know much about this person. But a hack/slash with big RPG elements would be great
I think I read somewhere he was remaking/remastering Killer7 and Flower, Sun, and Rain (both super underrated classics). If he's working on a new game too, that's pretty nuts. NMH3 or a new IP would be rad. Never got into Shadows or Lollipop like his other games.
The big surprise is that Suda51 is actually working as a subcontractor for Valve.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Don't like his games so meh
Shadows of the Damned was pretty fun. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to that.
my imagination is not that good so I can't even thing what this guy is making...follow up to Killer 7?
I think it's likely the Killer7 remaster that he's been wanting to do for a long time now, hence the "it's finally coming!" part. That or NMH3. Can't see Lollipop Chainsaw or Shadows of the Damned getting sequels. I would love a Flower, Sun and Rain remaster though, especially now that the Silver Case and 25th Ward remasters are out.
Well, the new Travis game looks crap so hopefully this secret game is much better.
I'm half hoping it's something from the Kill The Past series. But get the feeling it's Kurayami, the true Shadows of the Damned game before it was heavily morphed by EA.
Whatever it is, I'm super excited because this is Suda51.
@Jack_Goetz I love those remasters, they absolutely need to be released for Switch.
Killer7 remaster or sequel for Switch!
Could it finally be my SNATCHER remake I wanted on Wii or WiiU....???
@impurekind To you perhaps, but to me it looks like a hot slice of fun.
@WhiteTrashGuy Now a Snatcher remake with toon-style 3D visuals done just like those in Dragon Ball FighterZ could be something very special....
Killer 8 is my guess, or an actual No More Heroes 3 hopefully.
As a side note I'd really love a 1&2 hd remaster
My bet is a Snatcher remake. Killer 7 would be cool but not at the level of that game. Snatcher has the same sort of caché as Shenmue. Shenmue 3 was clamoured for and got. Snatcher hasn't had the same sort of calls for a remake. Not because people don't want it, but because no one would expect it in a million years. Gamers of a certain age would scream the roof down if it is Snatcher. We're bored of waiting for Half Life 3, Shenmue and FF VII are currently stuck in development (hell?), and if nothing else, Suda 51 is proficient at delivering games at a good steady rate and on time. The only reason I don't think the article relates to Killer 7 (although I think that may also be coming) is that the Gamecube version still looks pretty stunning to this day. (And I'm sure a book could be written on how Gamecube graphics and gameplay have aged better than any other console). He's involvement with Sdatcher shows a love for Snatcher so I'm starting to get a teeny bit excited. Oh, and anyone under the age of 35 wondering what the hell Snatcher is; google best Sega Mega CD games.
@WhiteTrashGuy Snatcher isnt a Suda game so doubtful. Would love to see it return though!
Yeah not a Suda game, but he was involved in a radio play based on Snatcher.
@LUIGITORNADO Yah same here they not great, I don't know why folk are dying for nmh3, the first two were meh :/ ... Be something new and good at least
Geez! I just want the game on Switch. Everything Suda should be on Switch.
I may be in the minority when I say this, but I would’ve much rather had a Juliet Starling/Travis Touchdown crossover game in exchange for what is to be No More Heroes 3.
@NintyNate Right.
I always feel like his games are bad. Playable but bad. They just have too many gameplay flaws to be good.
There's also his style.
I remember when I was first introduced to his games someone told me they're like Tarantino movies.
Man...Suda wishes he was Tarantino. He's like some Japanese poor imitation. More crass than style, more white-fish than crab meat. They're also not easy to follow. Not only does Tarantino have an ear for stylish dialogue, he can also pen a good story.
I don't know if Suda writes the dialogue in his games, and I'm sure things get a little muddled in translation, but it's sort of stylish. Problem is, it's fairly hollow. Just words.
I'm not against anyone enjoying Suda games. People can disagree with me. Just not my style.
I'm curious to know.
KillerIsDead 2???! 🤯
@TheBraveFencer Indeed! Just working through the 25th Ward at the moment on PS4.
whatever he puts on Switch I will purchase
It will be a Killer 7 remaster. He said this in October last year
"The thing about Killer7 is that, right now, it’s not easy to play that game anymore right now. That’s definitely something I’d like to maybe revisit and update."
I adore Suda51's games. Killer7, Shadows of the Damned, NMH, Killer is Dead. Love them. Whatever he's working on, he can't take my money fast enough.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the K7 remaster/remake.
On a sidenote, it's sad that Grasshopper's weakest PSWii60 generation games SotD and LP seem to be much more well known then Killer Is Dead, which is way better and easily GH's best game if that generation.
@NotEnoughScarabs
Believe me I know it's a Kojima game. I own an original copy. He has said over the years that he has talked to Konami about a possible remake / reboot. I had hoped for the Wii, because the Wiimote would be perfect for detective work and the shooting portions. The Switch would be excellent, too.
@LUIGITORNADO never read a more ignorant comment in my life.
@gutsack the one right above mine is pretty ignorant. People are allowed to not like stuff, and he even said "I'm not against anyone enjoying Suda games. People can disagree with me. Just not my style."
@AshFoxX my little pony...
As a fan of Tarantino, Tarantino WISHES he made Killer7. Suda51's games are certainly experimental and not for everyone. But bad? Not even close. Guys like Suda, Swery, and Yoko Taro simply scoff at the 'rules' of game design, and games have become more compelling as an art form because of it.
