A new Suda51 game could potentially be announced at the end of 2022 or early in 2023. This information appeared during the NetEase Connect 2022 livestream, in which he appeared to discuss his future plans. Outside of teasing a new project announcements, Goichi "Suda51" Suda also spoke about his hopes for other creations. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The livestream also revealed an entirely new studio under Grasshopper Manufacture called Yabukiri Studio. While Suda51 discussed plans for future projects, a video of a new mural being created for Yabukiri Studio played in the background. The mural features iconography associated with Grasshopper Manufacture titles, such as the star seen in No More Heroes.

So one new game and now Grasshopper is two studios. The studio is also in a new location and they hired 30 more people. Seems like NetEase is putting the money down.

Need more SUDA in my life

 

[808s & Villainy]

Yessss. I hope it's actually Suda directed/codirected and TSA and NMH3 weren't the last of that

 

[kurahador]

Still waiting for Shadow of the Damned remaster.

 

[Helix]

I'm intrigued

 

[NotLiquid]

Yessss. I hope it's actually Suda directed/codirected and TSA and NMH3 weren't the last of that

Destructoid posted a big translated interview a little while ago where he restated that he's not going to go back to an exec role and is sticking with being designer/director (and maybe producing a smaller title for their younger staff).

This is fantastic news! I really hope he does something a little less actiony. Recently replayed The Silver Case and it was such an interesting gem, I'd love to see him work on something like that again (though I will take anything Suda makes).

I ride for Suda every damn day, let's go.

Good to see NetEase is treating GHM right thus far. Can't wait to see what Suda has in store next, whether it's a new project altogether or one of the numerous remaster/remake projects he's been wanting to get off the ground, since we still have yet to see anything from the Flower, Sun & Rain remake or what their plans are for Shadows of the Damned.

Maybe the rumors of a Lollipop Chainsaw game getting redone? Or does WB(I think?) own that IP?

Lollipop Chainsaw is a bit of a mess of IP and publishing rights, to say nothing of the music licensing issues. Definitely expect Shadows of the Damned to show up much sooner than LC would.

 

[Host Samurai]

I hope it's something abstract and weird like Killer7. In tone and style.

 

[Astro Cat]

In Suda we trust.

Gotcha. They were teasing a sequel in Travis Strikes Again, makes sense.

Hopefully the Flower, Sun & Rain remake is still happening.

 

[W.S.]

I'm excited to hear what Suda's working on next, he and his team make some zany cool games.

 

[Capra]

Midori Midorikawa/Yuki Kazura high school paranormal horror action game please

Or, you know, whatever the fuck Suda wants because it's sure to be amazing

 

[Billfisto]

I hope he errs more on the Killer 7 side of things. Such a unique, singular experience.

 

[GetLuffy]

Gimme some thing as crazy as killer 7 and as fun as Shadows and I'm in.

 

[vestan]

Hype. Seems the NetEase acquisition is really working out so far. New studio, new location, freedom to make the games they want to make.

During the livestream, Suda51 stated that he would like to "create projects focused and directed towards a younger audience."

[Secret Bambino]

I'm in there, Suda. Always happy to support him and his studio.

 

[Fendajaz]

Random question, but has nmh3 released on multi platform yet?

 

[Cross]

I've heard that they might be working on a Marvel game.

Later this year iirc

 

[HowlTheChampion]

I just hope it won't be exclusive to one console. Suda is one of those unique devs who should be available to everyone.

 

[FakePlasticTree]

So a game he's actually directing?
