Romeo is a Dead Man is alive early next year

The wild and bloody conceptual action game hits platforms in February

Romeo Stargazer, the hero of Romeo is a Dead Man, likes blood. A lot of blood. All of the blood. That’s because he uses blood to power up and attack his enemies, creating more blood when they get pulverized.

That’s the action loop of Grasshopper Manufacture’s upcoming game, and all I needed to know to get really excited about it.

In RIADM players will switch between swords and guns go take out hordes of enemies in this space-time messed up third person action game — don’t worry about the plot, like much of Suda 51 & Grasshopper’s work it’s batshit crazy and just extreme enough to follow and keep us glued.

Romeo is a Dead Man hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC on February 11, 2026. Grasshopper Manufacture is self-publishing the game.
