Electronic Arts has yet another third party publishing announcement to make today. EA revealed that they have the rights to publish a new title from Grasshopper Manufacture, the Japanese based developer best known in the US for their ultra-violent console titles like Killer 7 and more recently No More Heroes.

This new game is described as an action-horror title and will indeed be released for the PC as well as console platforms. It should be interesting to see how this dev team, who have been so used to making console games only, will handle the making of a PC game as well. Regardless, no other info on the game, including a title and release date, has been announced.

Sounds promising. I've be mildly interested in Suda's previous games but besides GameFly-ing Killer 7 for 1 day I haven't really got my hands dirty with their games yet. Though it seems to be a critic's darling and having great stylized art, the gameplay did NOTHING for me. Apparently No More Heroes stands up better as a game and is a satirical take on games at large, I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet. I just don't feel like breaking out the dusting cloth so I can use my Wii. Hopefully the third time will be the charm for the developer and we'll get a quality product that everyone can enjoy.
