Grasshopper Sets February 11, 2026 Launch for Suda51’s Romeo Is a Dead Man

The studio will self-publish the new IP at a $50 price point.

Overview

  • Grasshopper confirmed the date during a studio broadcast with a new trailer, targeting PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store.
  • The release marks Grasshopper Manufacture’s first self-published title since becoming a NetEase-owned studio.
  • Built on Unreal Engine 5, a potential Switch 2 version is under consideration but hinges on engine support and performance, including features like Nanite and Lumen.
  • Players control space-time agent Romeo Stargazer in third-person combat that blends swords and firearms, with a blood-fueled special attack called Bloody Summer.
  • Suda51 said the team chose the timing to steer clear of major clashes in February and noted a contingency for up to a two-week delay if certification issues arise.
