Goichi “Suda51” Suda’s latest labor of love will launch Japan on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on October 6, 2022, turning its previous Nintendo Switch exclusivity into a limitation of the past.
Pre-orders in the west have the release marked as October 4.
The trailer provides a look at gameplay and cutscenes, including the backstory, the major enemies, the hack and slash action, and the wacky minigames we can expect.
You can watch it below and see if all the craziness convinces you.
If you don’t want to wait, the game has been available since August last year on Nintendo Switch.
The game brings back our otaku hero Travis Touchdown as he’s forced out of his well-earned (arguably) retirement to defend the whole world from a ruthless alien invasion.
In order to have a chance to protect the planet, Travis must fight his way to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings by defeating the evil Prince FU and his ten alien assassins.
Of course, such a bold endeavor costs lots of money, so our hero has to earn it by working, wither using his beam katana or his more basic abilities doing menial labor like mowing lawns. Every little bit helps.
On top of fighting with his beam Katana, now Travis can also take advantage of his Death Glove to activate a variety of abilities and even has a fancy full battle armor.
