Grasshopper Tests Switch 2 Feasibility for Suda51’s 'Romeo Is a Dead Man'

The team says a potential Switch 2 version depends on Unreal Engine compatibility from Epic.

Overview

  • Suda51 told GameXplain the studio is currently running tests to determine whether the game can be brought to Nintendo's next console.
  • He stressed the port is unconfirmed and will proceed only if Unreal Engine support on the hardware meets their needs.
  • Romeo is a Dead Man is described as an ultra-violent, third-person action title from Grasshopper Manufacture.
  • Suda51 explained to Destructoid that the story draws from Back to the Future-style character dynamics, Romeo and Juliet motifs, and classic zombie cinema.
  • The game was revealed during PlayStation's State of Play earlier this year, and a 2026 release window has been reported but not finalized.
