Suda51 himself had been teasing an announcement taking place at his panel at MomoCom, and here it is: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is coming to PS4.
Originally released earlier this year for the Nintendo Switch, the game was met with fairly mixed reviews, although our friends over at Nintendo Life enjoyed the experience. "Billed as a side dish, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes has been prepared with enough love and affection to become a filling meal on its own, packed with the spice and spirit you’d expect from Travis Touchdown. It’s a fun, indie-inflected blast of hack-and-slash which doesn’t change the world mechanically (and don’t go in expecting No More Heroes 3), but its sincerity and energy are charming."
This is now the second game in the franchise to come to PlayStation hardware following the 2011 re-release of the original for PS3. While a release date wasn't announced on stream, we'd expect the title to launch at some point this year. This release is vastly different to what fans of the original enjoyed and loved, however, taking on a more mini-game style that places the emphasis on hacking and slashing

On the one hand, I can’t deny the schadenfreude, that another Switch exclusive isn’t exclusive anymore.
On the other hand: I didn’t like the game on Nintendo’s console. I’d prefer to have a „real“ sequel on PS4.
This game is pure garbage. I guess the sales were less than stellar on Switch.
I heard this was awful and Suda was basically telling fans if they didnt buy this there wouldnt be another mainline NMH game. Watched a lets play of this on youtube and it looked unbearably awful. Hard pass.
I actually loved this game, it was the first Suda feeling game in a long time...which, while a double edged sword to some, is great to me, guy has his audience and talents, and this game nailed it, I think better than even NMH2 even did.
Mileage will vary, but I do recommend it to people looking for something a bit out there and slightly morbid, if even the gameplay can be repetitive.
I ignored this on Switch, and I'll continue to ignore it on PS4.
I enjoyed this on Switch as while it had its faults, the game oozed charm and definitely left an impression. If anything, it’s sure as hell not boring.
Bought it on Switch. Might buy it again on PS4. It's a lot of fun, though the people in the comments wouldn't admit that, because they never wanted it to succeed, because they hate change. Anyway, if you're a huge dork for Grasshopper Manufacturer, pick this up. It is... so dope.
Here’s hoping No More Heroes 2 makes it’s way to Sony consoles eventually also.
Perfect for those people that crave a new No More Heroes game.
I get a lot of fans would've preferred a new numbered entry into the series.
Doesn't matter where it releases to be honest, the game is still gonna be trash. No More Heroes 1 and 2 remaster on PS4 and PC would be better.
Sad to see this franchise flame out. Travis Touchdown has so much potential as a world building character but this went south after the first two games.
I'm still waiting for NMH2 to release on something that doesn't have terrible controls 😑
Switch can keep this one it's always looked mediocre, I'd take Octopath Traveller though
I've never played any of these before but own them all XD.
Either way looking forward to adding this game to my growing backlog.
Come release on PS4! Because I rarely on my potato couch anymore since I'm always on the move. So, I'll be getting it on the Switch instead for its portability.
@Ralizah Same.
if this helps us get a No More Heroes 3 and/or ports of the first 2 then i'm all for it
Be great to see NMH 1&2 ported over, aswell as Killer7.
I also enjoyed Shadows of the Damned alot so stick that on the remaster list too please.
What about Xbox One?
It’s so sweet that people still treat consoles like a sporting team. Cheering on their “one” and weird comments about others.
I’m against 3rd party exclusives and think they don’t help anyone. I own PS4/xb1 and switch.
This game didnt exactly go down well as an exclusive and can’t see people climbing over each other to get it on ps4.
That comment section at Nintendo Life has like over 200 comments about this game hitting on PS4. Is it really that big of a deal?
@Ralizah Why?
@shonenjump86 Seems like it.
@Custom1991 Not interested in what it has to offer. It seems more like a mediocre indie game collection than anything, and as a NMH virgin, I don't really care about its connections to that franchise.
I prefer NMH 1 & 2 remaster with 4k, 60 fps, and psmove support.
@Ralizah So you wanted an actual third No More Heroes game instead of this?
@Custom1991 Nope. While I'd certainly think about purchasing a NMH remaster, I have no opinions on the series. What I do know is that Travis Strikes Again looks like utter mediocrity, and people only seemed enthused about it insofar as it related to a franchise they already liked.
Other than piles and piles of cash i cant imagine staying exclusive to any platform except PlayStation lol.
Game was ok, would’ve preferred a remaster of 1&2 if the goal was trying to drum up funds and hype for a third game.
