Grasshopper Manufacture is joining NetEase Games under the equity transfer agreement signed on May 31, 2021, the two sides announced today.

While the companies will be working together, NetEase says it will allow Grasshopper to maintain creative freedom, managerial autonomy, and incentives for success where developers can work “in a worry-free environment allowing them to fully focus on creation.”

Speaking about the partnership with NetEase, Grasshopper CEO Goichi Suda (Suda51) said:

no more heroes 3 dlc

No More Heroes 3 doesn’t have any actual DLC planned. However, in a recent interview, director Suda51 spoke about what he would have in mind.

Suda51 brought up three main points while speaking with Siliconera. The first thing he would be interested in adding is an area that was ultimately scrapped from the final game “due to tech reasons”. Suda51 also brought up wanting to do more with the Galactic Superhero Rankers and boss battles. Finally, if he ever had the chance, adding more playable characters like Shinobu would be a top goal.

We’ve included Suda51’s comments about No More Heroes 3 DLC below. Just to stress once again, nothing is actually in the works for now.
