Grasshopper Manufacture founder Suda51 made an appearance at Sony's State of
Play showcase to reveal Romeo is a Dead Man ΓÇö a game that has no relation
to the 2000 action masterpiece Romeo Must Die, as far as we can tell. Romeo
is a Dead Man stars Romeo Stargazer, a dude who was pulled back from the
brink of death, gained time-shattering powers, and became a universe-hopping
special agent for the FBI. Using a sword and guns, Romeo battles various sci-
fi robots and beasts across multiple universes, featuring hyper-bloody
gameplay.

By the time I finished watching the debut trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man,
I'd completely forgotten that it started out with a hand-drawn cartoon family
enjoying a nice curry dinner. It quickly devolves into a black-, white- and
red-splattered fever dream of exploding heads and doorway demons, providing
the first hint that this is definitely a Suda51 project. Grasshopper
Manufacture's previous games include Killer7, No More Heroes, Lollipop
Chainsaw and Killer is Dead, and its latest release seems to fit right in
with these titles.

Romeo is a Dead Man is a third-person action game, and it's due to hit
PlayStation 5 in 2026.
