No More Heroes III was announced at E3 2019 with a planned 2020 release, but was delayed into 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic slowing down development. Suda has described the game as the conclusion of Travis Touchdown's story. Much like previous entries in the series, the game pays homage to and parodies pop culture media, taking inspiration from works such as Rocky III, Kamen Rider, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the filmography of Takashi Miike. Upon the studio being shown the Nintendo Switch, Suda was inspired to return to the series, believing the games would be a fit for the console's audience and allow for a return to the series' staple motion control combat via the Joy-Con controllers. Series creator and director Goichi Suda had received many fan requests to make a third mainline entry in the franchise after the release of the second game, but development of a new entry was postponed for many years due to Grasshopper Manufacture working on other projects. Production began during the final development stages of the spinoff prequel Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes (2019). Set eleven years after the events of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (2010), the game stars professional assassin Travis Touchdown and follows his return to the fictional city of Santa Destroy, as he must defend the world from a powerful army of alien invaders led by the galactic overlord prince FU and his nine soldiers who adopt the façade of galactic superheroes. It is the fourth installment in the No More Heroes series and is the third mainline entry in the series. No More Heroes III is a 2021 action-adventure hack and slash video game developed and published by Grasshopper Manufacture for the Nintendo Switch.
