Suda51 returns with a sword-swinging, gun-slinging, sci-fi action game
Grasshopper Manufacture founder Suda51 made an appearance at Sony's State of Play showcase to reveal Romeo is a Dead Man — 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.

For as long as brothers George and Harry Hardwick can remember, they have enjoyed boss this interview takes place, the camera is balanced on an old pile of Playstation 2 games at the brothers' home in the games are Killer 7, the Thing and Half-Life, but it is the fighting game Tekken which has fuelled the Hardwick's rivalry over the is a healthy rivalry which has spread from gaming to mixed martial arts, with the pair now flourishing in reaching the pinnacle of UK-based MMA promotion, Cage the oldest of the two siblings at 30, is the featherweight champion while George, 28, holds the lightweight title."There's always been something geared in our brains towards games and actually for a job now, we do boss fights," Harry tells BBC Sport."That's essentially what we do for a living - we have boss fights."George, meanwhile, credits video games with having a positive effect on the brothers' fighting will defend his title against Lucas Clay in Manchester on 14 March, with Harry putting his belt on the line against Javier Garcia a week later in London on 21 March."Don't underestimate video games - they are so good on the brain," adds George."Anyone who does mixed martial arts or any sport give this a try - don't go on social media when you're chilling, play some video games. "Play some Ninja Gaiden, Tekken, Dark Souls, whatever it is. And when you train, your mind is so much sharper. "There's a reason why [former UFC champions] Demetrius Johnson, Sean O'Malley and Max Holloway clock so many hours in video games."American Holloway has said he learned some striking combinations from playing the UFC video game early in his career, which he later implemented in his fights - something which the Hardwicks can relate to."There's times we'll say Demon's Wrath on pads - it's a move from the command list on Tekken. It's left high kick to jab, to right low kick to left body shot," says George. 'Around 9000 calories - my real talent is eating' The Hardwicks grew up on Teesside, where they were introduced to mixed martial arts as teenagers after initially training in Muay started the sport on exactly the same day and before long were hooked, with both deciding they wanted to pursue it as a brothers' enjoy a competitive but constructive relationship, but this only blossomed after they started training together."Training was what actually fixed us, we'd be in the house scrapping, constantly having fights," said George. "When we actually started going to the gym and doing it in a controlled environment and a productive way, this channelled it into something useful rather than just breaking the furniture."The pair's bond has played a big part in their success, with both admitting one has inspired the other to stay committed to the sport during difficult moments over the years."I remember when I was going to start university, I got an elbow dislocation and then a problem with my scalp and it put me off martial arts for a while, said George."If Harry wasn't doing it I probably wouldn't have got back into it."Inside the cage they have been compared to former UFC stars Nick and Nate Diaz, because of the pressure and body shots they inflict on their jokes they both similar in ways, joking about their "neanderthal eyebrows" and stubbornness, especially when they biggest difference between the pair, however, is their says that his "real talent would have been competitive eating", referencing a time he ate two "Teesside Parmos, two bags of chips and a salted caramel cheesecake" - a haul totalling "around 9000 calories"."That's the reason he's in the heavier weight class than me," Harry quips. Much of Cage Warriors' talent over the years have progressed to the UFC, and Harry and George have similar missed out on a UFC contract in 2023, losing to Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady in Dana White's Contender Series, but is eyeing another shot in the near future."I'm fighting soon then I want to fight in Newcastle and then towards the back end of the year my dream is to go back through the Contender Series and get redemption," says George."There are so many mistakes I made, and I just can't wait to right them."Harry echoes the sentiment."UFC is the ideal but I'm a very content individual with the life I live now," he says. "The UFC would be good because I'd be getting more money for the life I live, more exposure, the gym would be busier, but we've got really good students and training partners here."
