Suda51 Confirms Travis Touchdown Will Return for No More Heroes 20th Anniversary

Publisher ownership gives Marvelous decisive control over how any anniversary project is handled.

Overview

  • Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda told Famitsu that something is being planned to mark the series’ 20th anniversary and that "Travis Touchdown is definitely coming back," a report by VGC and NintendoEverything said.
  • Suda did not specify what form the return will take and offered no confirmation of a sequel, remaster, remake, spin-off, or non‑game event.
  • Grasshopper formally became independent from NetEase in September 2026, a change that could give the studio more freedom in production or partnership choices for the anniversary project.
  • Because Marvelous owns the No More Heroes intellectual property, the publisher’s agreement will determine the project’s scope, platform and release plan.
  • The No More Heroes series began in Japan in December 2007 and includes three main games plus the spin‑off Travis Strikes Again, giving the anniversary both a clear milestone and a ready fanbase for any new release.
