The No More Heroes franchise is one of the more odd tales out there in the video game world. Made by Suda 51, the games are ultra violent, ultra meta, and ultra hilarious. So, you know, just like Suda 51. But, despite all of this, No More Heroes 3 is not in the cards at the moment, keyword “at the moment”. Next month, a spinoff game is coming in the form of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes on the Nintendo Switch, and if that game does well, then the next game will happen.
This comes (once again) from the mouth of Suda 51, who noted this is in an interview with Kotaku UK:
“If Travis Strikes Again is a success, it could lead to another numbered installment in the series, so, I’m hoping that everyone will support this spin off entry in the series. This is why I must make sure that Travis Strikes Again definitely does not fail.”
But he was quick to note that he does have plans for the next game, and that Travis Strikes Again actually does lead into the next one:
“I already have a composed outline for No More Heroes 3 in my head, and I want it to be way more epic than previous numbered installments in the series, with regards to Travis and his battle towards the new assassins. Because of that, I felt like Travis needed a kind of sidestep, to sort of add to his growth, giving him a chance to grow a bit before his next big battle in a numbered game. I feel like Travis Strikes Again is really integral to the series, and I want it to connect those numbered installments together, so I hope people will support it because of that.”
So there you have it, if you want No More Heroes 3, you have to get Travis Strikes Again when it arrives in January.
