In early 2013, the developer joined the ranks of GungHo Online Entertainment, the successful Japanese publisher perhaps known best for its free-to-play games like the Puzzle and Dragons series. But it wasn't altogether unpredictable, either. That's not something most would've suspected from a game like Let it Die from a developer like Grasshopper. It wasn't until about a year later that Suda revealed something surprising: Let it Die would be free-to-play and completely online. So, yeah, more or less what a Suda51 fan might expect.
And who could forget the Grim Reaper with his trusty scythe riding a skateboard into Let it Die's logo? People died at the sharp end of a hatchet and engulfed in the plume of a flamethrower. That seemed fitting, because the nearly naked man who starred in the trailer was in desperate need of some kind of protection. The trailer implied makeshift armor like the hockey mask that a plodding grotesquery wore and weapons like the classic baseball bat with nails poking out of its business end. We knew about as much as the introductory trailer teased, which wasn't much beyond the sense that it was the kind of stylized, over-the-top violent action game you'd expect from Suda51.

Sony unveiled the PS4 exclusive Let it Die during the company's E3 2014 press conference. "In 2016, you can play Grasshopper's new game and its first game," he said through a translator as that meeting wound down. Earlier he had The Silver Case on his mind because it's being reborn on PC this year. This is, coincidentally, the second meeting I've had with Suda today. But at PAX East 2016, he's got murderous clowns on his mind. He's also the founder of developer Grasshopper Manufacture, and his other credits include games like Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is Dead and No More Heroes. The Silver Case, Grasshopper Manufacture's first game, will be resurrected this fallĪfter a few minutes of that internal monologue, it occurs to me that I can probably get an answer to this question in short order, so I make sure I'm standing in relative safety, turn over my left shoulder, smile and begin to explain myself to Goichi "Suda51" Suda, Let it Die's director.
