After teasing the game for a very long time, Goichi "Suda51" Suda and Grasshopper Manufacture finally lifted the lid on No More Heroes 3 earlier this year at E3. It's aiming for a 2020 release and sees Travis Touchdown return as the beam wielding professional assassin.
If you've been wondering how development is going, Suda says the game is "about 35 to 40 percent complete". It will be an open-world title once again, but due to Grasshopper being a "middle-class" sized studio, Suda says it won't be on the same scale as other open-world games from publishers such as Ubisoft and Rockstar.
On a lighter note, motion controls will make a return:
It will definitely have the motions you know from the series [the Beam Katana charge motion...you know the one...was done to illustrate]
And one of the bosses in the game is best described as a combination of Thanos, Venom, and Joker.
Are you looking forward to the release of No More Heroes 3 on the Switch next year? Comment below.

In the words of NMH2 boss Nathan Copeland, “YES, give me more, crownless king!!!”
Take all the time that you need suda to make No More Heroes 3 awesome.
Hot damn Suda! Glad to hear that!
Suda51 just did some DLC for Fire Pro Wrestling World. That's the game I badly want to see on Switch. Hopefully NL can one day talk to him or the Fire Pro crew at Spike to find out why these guys have yet to drop this on Switch.
Love to hear developers be this open about progress with their games. Retro should perhaps take note.
ok note to suda if he ever reads these things: quality over quantity
you can have an open area rather than world, just focus on the distinct areas like the first game which i kinda missed in the second game
i loved the stupid ramp into the ocean xD
Glad to hear it. Was not a fan of TSA.
Can we get a HD release of 1 and 2 to hold us over until then?
Really looking forward to this.
Would also be down for NMH1+2 on Switch.
So who else besides Suda and Toby Fox have visited Sakurai? Was it ever confirmed that Matt/James of WayForward visited him?
NMH III next year? Huh, I'd pegged it early 2021. Guess we'll see. Meanwhile, I'd love to see NMH I & II return in some form, I only ever got to play them in pieces with friends.
Yes yes yes! pumps fist
NMH 1 & 2 compilation while we wait please???
Never heard of this game... guess it never got my attention (maybe)
Cool, but can we just kill motion controls already? It's outdated and embarrassing to use in public.
This is a game i am hyped about!!!
Take your time guys, id rather have a great polished game than a rushed one.
Oh, so is this one gonna have a sort of open world like the first one? Hope it´s better this time around, the first one was empty and kind of tedious
