XSEED Games have announced that No More Heroes and its sequel No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle will be re-released for PC via Steam.

So be sure you have one of the best gaming laptops to handle this series' insane, over-the-top boss battles.
No More Heroes is a 3rd-person hack and slash game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. and published by XSEED Games. You play as Travis Touchdown, an otaku assassin armed with a beam katana he bought off the internet, who's is on a quest to become the no.1 ranked assassin in the world (and impress his femme fatale manager Sylvia Crystal) by killing all the higher-ranked assassins.
Its sequel, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, picks up a few years after the first game. Travis is once again carving his way through the ranks of the United Assassins Association to reclaim his spot as the no.1 assassin. However, Travis is not just doing this to be no.1 again — this time, he's out for revenge to hunt the man who murdered one of his best friends.
The PC ports will feature HD resolutions, 60FPS gameplay, and many more features like Steam Cloud support. However, these games will require controllers to play because mouse and keyboard are not supported.
With No Heroes Heroes 3 on the horizon, there's no better time to get up with Travis Touchdown's crazy adventures than now when these games release for the PC via Steam on June 9, 2021.
Grab your beam katana and become the ultimate assassin.

This isn't a battle anymore...it's a war!
One day, Travis Touchdown finds his beloved friends brutally murdered, and the only way to find the killer is to climb up the assassin rankings again. Take up your beam katana once more and slash your way back to the top to claim your revenge in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.
