Suda51 interested in possible No More Heroes and Killer7 crossover, as well as a “Suda-universe”

Suda51 recently stopped by MomoCon and hosted an hour-long panel. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was discussed in-depth, and it was announced that the game is making its way to new platforms – although that isn’t really relevant here.
What is relevant is that Suda51 also touched on an interesting topic during the panel. We won’t discuss this in-depth here in case we’re encroaching on territory that some feel would be spoiler-related, but something happens in Travis Strikes Again that will be of interest to Killer7 fans. And according to Suda51, what was shown in that game is canon.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sold 1.73 million copies worldwide through March 2019. That news comes straight from Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, who shared the news in a crossover interview with Bandai Namco’s Katsuhiro Harada. Takahashi indicated that sales are essentially peaking at that number, which makes sense given how the RPG has been out for quite some time.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launched in December 2017. It was at 1.42 million copies sold by June 30, 2018. That number moved up to 1.53 million units by September 30 that year.
Thanks to PDApanda for the tip.
