We already knew No Extra Heroes 3 was heading to PC this yr, however now we lastly know when: October eleventh, in keeping with new trailer from writer XSEED. So pop it in your calendars, people, and have watch of Travis Landing’s newest zany journey under.
No Extra Heroes 3 first launched on Nintendo Change final yr to affordable acclaim, signalling a return to sword-slashing kind for Grasshopper Manufacture’s massive unhealthy slaying anime man after the middling Travis Strikes Once more spin-off in 2019. Just like the earlier two major line video games within the sequence, Travis is again attempting to make his solution to the highest of the murderer leaderboard in NHM 3, taking out one boss after one other along with his flashy lightsaber. The one actual blight on the sport was its horrible efficiency points exterior its good, 60fps fight sections. Suda51 and his workforce clearly labored their socks off to verify fights ran easily on the Change, however man alive, its open-world, GTA-style metropolis sections… Oofta. Painful, I inform ya, painful.
So here is hoping the PC model would not endure the identical destiny. Writer XSEED do point out “improved HD visuals and framerates, together with sooner loading occasions” within the blurb of their launch date announcement trailer on YouTube, though many of the trailer focuses, understandbly, on the flashy fights and cutscenes somewhat than the town, making it laborious to inform precisely if or the way it’s been improved.
Nonetheless, it is good to see No Extra Heroes getting extra love on PC. Whereas Ed wasn’t notably enamoured with final yr’s HD remaster of the primary recreation in his No Extra Heroes evaluation, I bear in mind the unique Wii model fondly after I first performed it 15 years in the past (lawd). In equity, an enormous a part of why the PC model did not fairly land with Ed was exactly as a result of it did not have these basic Wii waggle controls. That, and it is essentially fairly a primary port of a recreation that was made within the mid to late 00s.
As a lover of fine boss gauntlet video games, although (which No Extra Heroes undoubtedly is), I am excited to play No Extra Heroes 3 in a model that is hopefully fitter for public consumption. Come on, XSEED, do not let me down.
In the meanwhile, solely Steam and Microsoft Retailer variations of No Extra Heroes 3 are confirmed for PC (in addition to your PlayStations and Xboxes), however retailer pages are not reside simply but. Nonetheless, loads of time to go earlier than launch day on October eleventh, eh?
