Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture released new details and information, plus a new trailer for ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN, their upcoming sci-fi action game. As expected, it will be ultra-violent, and most likely, ultra-crazy. As anyone who’s played Killer7, Shadows of the Damned, or any of the No More Heroes games can attest, Suda and Grasshopper Manufacture are known for their memorable characters and insane stories. ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN seems likely to be continuing that tradition. You play as Romeo Stargazer, who has died and been resurrected by a piece of super technology. He now wears a mask called Deadgear, and as a special agent of the FBI’s Space-Time police, he travels the space-time continuum bringing criminals to justice, while also looking for his girlfriend Juliet.

Suda announced that Grasshopper Manufacture will be self-publishing ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN and it will only cost fifty dollars, with a possible discount at launch.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 11, 2026. Check out the new release date trailer followed by Suda’s short Direct presentation below:

About ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN

Take control of the protagonist Romeo Stargazer in this third person singleplayer action adventure, split into various chapters. His story is both unpredictable and littered with intense battles, interspersed with side missions to suit the player’s pace.

A story that transcends space-time

This game’s story starts with space-time itself being shattered by a certain incident. Romeo, too, on the brink of life and death finds himself revived by a new kind of super technology. Thus he is recruited for the FBI’s Space-Time Police as a special agent, and wanders the cosmos in search of criminals who’ve taken advantage of the situation at hand in an attempt to bring justice back to the universe. At the same time, he looks for clues concerning his missing girlfriend Juliet, and quickly comes to find both her disappearance and the destruction of space may be more linked than he thought. Donning the mask called Deadgear, what awaits Romeo at the edges of space-time?

Fight blood with blood

Romeo switches between swords and guns to fight. Wipe out the waves of enemies that stand in your path to give birth to a new kind of bloody action, and take down the fearsome space-time criminals that await. Absorb the blood of your enemies to unleash Romeo’s special attack: Bloody Summer, capable of turning any situation around. Romeo’s various weapons can be strengthened and altered as the story moves forward as he takes on even stronger enemies.
