Travis learns that the Death Drive MK-II was designed as a automobile that would create clones of its users, and that while it was initially intended for infinite travel, the government had re-purposed it to exist a super soldier plan - a prospect which caused Juvenile to sabotage the project in an act of defiance, and get into hiding. Despite this, the mother machine responsible for its protocols nonetheless lays dormant within the CIA, and Travis is warned that completing all 6 Expiry Ball games volition cause it to reboot, assuasive the authorities to go on developing super soldiers. He is also alerted that should information technology be reactivated, Juvenile would destroy the United States in retaliation.

Despite warnings, Travis and Badman successfully complete every Death Ball; notwithstanding ane of the games - Killer Marathon - turns out to exist an incomplete version of the game. As such, when they wish for Bad Girl'south resurrection, she ends upwardly being resurrected in the form of a canis familiaris. Travis later ends up locating a prototype for a Decease Ball which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him straight into the CIA. Massacring his way through the facility he locates the Decease Drive mother motorcar which is beingness guarded by Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the grade of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her. He interacts with the mother automobile and is transported to Mars, where he meets John Winter; the creator of the very original Death Drive and Juvenile'southward mentor. Winter explains that he retired to Mars to escape Earth'south problems, and safeguards the planet, opposing the government'southward plans to emigrate there. He offers Travis the opportunity to stay on Mars and alive a perfect life. Travis declines, realizing that he can't abandon his past, and deciding to face his problems head on. Winter responds past decapitating Travis, every bit the but mode for him to return is to "dice".

Dorsum on World, Travis is approached by his self-proclaimed pupil, Shinobu Jacobs, who asks him to return from hiding to face up the assassins. Travis remarks that information technology's time for bloodshed. In a playable postal service-credits segment, Travis is controlled from a third person perspective like to the previous No More Heroes games, prepare in a default Unreal Engine level. While attempting to arroyo a dummy, Travis berates the player for treating the area like a game, saying that they're currently "in development".

The standoff is once again interrupted, this time by Expiry & Drive, who accept cleaved free of the Decease Drive MK-II and are seeking revenge against Travis. He manages to beat them in a game of Burn Pro Wrestling, obtaining the location of the completed version of the Killer Marathon Expiry Brawl, which is in the possession of Travis' wife, Sylvia Christel.

Development [edit]

The logo of the game was designed by Kojiro Kondo of Black Belt Jones DC, who was besides responsible for designing the original No More Heroes series logo.[eleven]

Post-obit the release of No More Heroes 2, Goichi Suda had been looking for an opportunity to continue the series, just became busy with other projects, such as his interest with Allow It Dice.

While the panel was different from the Wii, it offered similar motion-based features through the Joy-Con, and he recognized he could revive No More than Heroes for the system. He felt the game would fit in well among the planned Switch titles like The Fable of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.[6]

Suda considered the No More than Heroes series as "fun slash 'em upwards kind of games", but with Travis Strikes Again, he wanted to play around with the history of video games and the idea of retro games, and "how Travis would collaborate with the individual rules and the individual vibe from each game".[12] The six games are new games adult for the title, some in homages to existing indie games, with at least 1 existence a vector scan game.[7] [viii] [12] When originally appear, some took Suda'south comments to reflect that the levels would be set within actual indie games similar Hotline Miami, but Suda later clarified that these games would be featured as "T-shirt collaborations", with Travis able to unlock and wear article of clothing items that promote these indie games, a concept he came upwards with while seeing various game expositions similar PAX Westward.[13] I such title is Hyper Light Drifter, with Nintendo of America showcasing Travis's shirt alongside announcing the game'south release on the Switch.[14] Suda wanted players to run across Travis as a fan of indie games, not only to give recognition to the indie game scene, only due to his conventionalities that Grasshopper is similar to an indie developer, and he wanted to prove his support of the up-and-coming smaller studios.[five] He estimated that there volition be at to the lowest degree xv indie games represented in Travis Strikes Again, with titles to exist revealed as part of the ongoing promotion.[15] The game would also run across the addition of t-shirts from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker,[sixteen] The Fable of Zelda: Majora's Mask [17] and Zelda II: The Run a risk of Link [18] that grant Travis a spin attack. The thought of crossing between games was partially influenced by the film Existenz.[6] UK artist Boneface contributed designs for the game's boss battles.[5]

There volition as well exist sections of the game that apply the standard gameplay approach as the other No More Heroes titles.[12] One goal of the game for Suda was to take information technology be completely playable on a single Joy-Con controller for the Nintendo Switch version, simplifying the controls compared to the second game.[ix] Reporters from Eurogamer and Polygon take taken Suda's comments that the game may support multiplayer, since the Switch supports 2 Joy-Con. Suda was unable to speak on this under confidentiality at PAX West, but did tell reporters who asked about this that there are "two chief characters, and so draw your ain conclusions, if you want".[9] [xix] [v]

The game is being developed in Unreal Engine iv.[20] At the time of reveal, Robin Atkin Downes, the voice of Travis in the previous titles, had reportedly not been asked to reprise his role in Travis Strikes Again.[21] He was later confirmed to be returning to the role in December 2018.[22]

Travis Strikes Again was teased during the Jan 2022 reveal conference of the Nintendo Switch. Suda was nowadays for the live issue, and appeared on stage to show a promotional epitome of Travis Touchdown wearing a shirt that said "Travis Strikes Again";[23] withal, no mention of the No More Heroes serial was fabricated. Suda said in a later interview that this was a purposeful choice, as he wanted the tease to characteristic Travis himself equally the fundamental focus.[12] The game was formally announced as Travis Strikes Once again: No More Heroes in an August 2022 Nintendo Direct, forth with further reveals at the PAX Westward event a few days afterwards.[12] Suda noted that the title's ordering, placing the series' name afterwards Travis Strikes Again, was to insinuate to the fact he does not consider this game a direct sequel simply instead "the beginning of a new adventure, of a new series for Travis" merely that all the same otherwise takes identify in the No More Heroes universe.[9] Suda likewise stated that Travis Strikes Over again serves as "something of a stepping stone on the road to No More Heroes 3", and hopes to brand a true sequel if the game proves successful enough.[24]
