Suda 51’s Grasshopper Manufacture is teasing something for June 15

No More Secrets

Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio founded by esoteric game design🍬er Suda51, is teasing some sort of announcement for June 15, which is the daಞte that its online countdown clock hits Terminus.

While the clock was first started back in March (on the anniversary of No More Heroes, no less), fan spotted that it had recently been updated with a new design, as well as offering a new and definitive date for the mysterious reveal. The timing would suggest that the reveal was initially set to take place during this week’s Summer Game Fest event, but has now been delayed to the following week.

The Countdown on Gras💟shoppers 25th Anniversary page got a few days on top and is now ending on June 15th.

So, what is it? Well, the fact that the clock launched on No More Heroes‘ anniversary could suggest a new entry in Suda51’s lurid action-adventure series. That said, there have been whispers that the studio has been working on a new title for some years now — A video shot at the studio itself last year showed an artist working on a grotesque boss character, leading some to believe a new Shadows of the Damned might be in the works. Although it’s been a while since we heard anything of the Lollipop Chainsaw remake, Suda51🧸 and his current staff are not involved with that project, so it is unlikely t🃏o pertain to that game.

Whatever the ultimate reveal turns out to be, all of the prospects are pretty exciting. And, thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out the truth. We will, of course, bring you all of the details from the June 15 Grasshopper Manufacture reveal right here on Destructoid.

Until then, however, let the specula🎀tion commence.
