At Sony's State of Play showcase, Suda51 introduced 'Romeo is a Dead Man', a game featuring protagonist Romeo Stargazer who, revived from death, fights as an FBI agent. It showcases a mix of swordplay and gun action against various sci-fi foes across multiple worlds. The game deviates sharply from its innocent beginnings, rapidly shifting into a chaotic tableau typical of Suda51's work, reminiscent of Grasshopper Manufacture's previous titles like 'Killer7' and 'No More Heroes'. Scheduled for a 2026 release, it promises a captivating yet gruesome experience on PlayStation 5.
Romeo is a Dead Man stars Romeo Stargazer, a dude who was pulled back from the brink of death, gained time-shattering powers, and became a universe-hopping special agent for the FBI.
Using a sword and guns, Romeo battles various sci-fi robots and beasts across multiple universes, featuring hyper-bloody gameplay.
By the time I finished watching the debut trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man, I'd completely forgotten that it started out with a hand-drawn cartoon family enjoying a nice curry dinner.
Grasshopper Manufacture's previous games include Killer7, No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw and Killer is Dead, and its latest release seems to fit right in with these titles.
