Originally, the No More Heroes IP stood to be a staple for Nintendo with its Wii launch more than a decade ago. But with the latest entry – No More Heroes III – the series reinstates that with a natvie Nintendo Switch port. However, what many didn’t anticipate is the newest title being ported to other competing platforms as well. Back in April, it was revealed that Xbox, PlayStation, and PC are to receive the new game later this year.
What comes to be a big surprise is the game’s migration to Xbox. In the history of Grasshopper Manufacture, the team never adapted a No More Heroes title to Microsoft’s platform. While other entries like Killer is Dead and Lollipop Chainsaw, No More Heroes remained unique to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles namely.
On Tuesday, Marvelous, xSeed Games, and Grasshopper Manufacture share No More Heroes III will launch in North America this October. You can watch the trailer in the video below:
