Suda-51 assisting EA on new horror game

News - Grasshopper recruited by EA

Killer 7 and No More Heroes creators Suda-51 and Shinji Mikami, from Japanese developer Grasshopper, have been enlisted to create a brand new horror title for Electronic Arts.

The new title will be created for the PC, Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360, and it will be crafted with the help of Q Entertainment (Rez, et al) and EA Partners.

Given the people involved, we're expecting a suitably bloody horror offering, possibly including plenty of off-the-wall humour and a smattering of stylization.

"Grasshopper Manufacture is excited to work with EA Partners to bring our new title to gamers around the world," beamed Mr. Grasshopper, Goichi Suda (Suda-51). "They are a great partner who shares our commitment to quality and innovation while respecting our independence as a studio, which is very empowering."
