Marvelous Entertainment began streaming a new video for Grasshopper Manufacture's No More Heroes III game on Wednesday. The video reveals the game's October 6 release date in Japan for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S.

XSEED Games describes No More Heroes III:

Being the “number-one assassin in the world” isn't what it used to be. Otaku hero Travis Touchdown is back once more, forced out of retirement to defend Santa Destroy, and Earth, in an intergalactic test of might while proving he's more than just a washed up has-been who talks to his cat. Warm up those beam katanas, tighten the all-new Death Glove, and get ready to partake in outrageous boss battles against the evil Prince FU and his nine alien henchmen as Travis fights his way to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings!

XSEED Games will release the game in the West om PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Windows Store in fall 2022. The company will also launch a Day 1 Edition for the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game that will include a box featuring a new original illustration by series artist Yūsuke Kozaki, a 70-page art book, an audio CD of the game's soundtrack, and a 7"x4" Santa Destroy commemorative biker license plate.

The game launched for Nintendo Switch in August 2021.

Artist Darick Robertson (The Boys) provided illustrations for the game.

Robin Atkin Downes and Paula Tiso reprised their roles as Travis Touchdown and Silvia Christel, respectively.

Grasshopper Manufacture released the first No More Heroes game for the Wii in 2007, and later for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A sequel, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, shipped on the Wii in 2010. HD versions of both games launched for PC in North America on June 9. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes launched on the Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe in January 2019, and it also released on the PlayStation 4 and PC in October 2019.

Chinese developer NetEase Games acquired Gōichi Suda's (SUDA51's) game developing studio Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. from GungHo Online Entertainment in May 2021.
